Artist Reflection for Project 2
The strongest technical aspect would be choosing what to highlight in the picture. The intent of what to emphasis was the cat's intention to eat the small bird. Recoloring the eyes and tongue on the cat shows the cats desire, and highlighting the bird was pinpointing its target. This project was really simple so it is hard to improve upon it in this picture. To improve, a more complicated picture may be needed to challenge what is the most important aspect.
The easiest part of the activity was filling back in the color where I desired. Making the picture black and white required a short process was also really easy when I had technical difficulties and had to repeat it. The most difficult aspect was to see exactly where some borders were to restore, but do to simply undoing, it was not an obstacle for long, just reoccurring. It proved challenging choosing a good picture for the project, but I knew what I wanted to choose for a picture, but many didn't have color in the right spots to make my objective clear.
To demonstrate the objective I created two focal points instead of one. Both animals are the focal points of this picture, as explained earlier. If I were to repeat this activity, like I would say for most, I would use a new picture. Outside of my usual nature theme I would do something like highlight the main dish at a dinner set (example, the chicken and pasta in a bowl).

I like how you used the history brush to add the element of color to your desaturated image. The bird makes a nice focal point.
ReplyDeleteThank you, other pictures I had found didn't have any colorful prey for my goal.
