Final ArtworkIn-Progress PhotosExplanation and ReflectionI decided early on in my planning process for this project that I wanted to have an interesting, unusual composition and perspective from which my reference photo would be taken. I used my canon camera in order to make certain things in my photo have a "bokeh" effect, while other objects are crystal clear. I didn't just gather some medals from around my house and call it a day, I wanted to choose only a few, selective objects, and allow the audience to take a closer look at my piece. In the reference photo pictured, you can see two spoons stacked on top of each other; these represent my love for cooking and enjoying food with others. Next, you see my figure skate, with mostly the blade being pictured; this represents my love for the sport and art of figure skating. Lastly, I placed a drawing that I completed for this art class in my "setup", to represent how I enjoy art and work hard at it, as well as all of my other school subjects and extracurriculars. The purse that is partially "blurred", pictured on the left with iridescent rhinestones, is used to create a unique look to the composition of what is clear and what is blurred in my photo. On a deeper level, this purse represents an aspect of my personality in which I enjoy bright, colorful things, and the purse also correlates to a memory of when I used the purse as an accessory for my 8th grade dance, a dance for which I made my own iridescent rhinestone shoes to match this purse to let my creativity shine through my outfit that I wore to such event. If I could do anything differently, I would have given myself more time to enhance the appearance of the "blurred" jewels on the purse. I think that I get the idea across to the point of where it is distinguishable as the purse from my reference photo, but I think I could have perfected the amount of blurriness and the blending of the jewels' colors a little more. All around, I am pleased with the outcome of this piece, and I really enjoy the reference photo that I took and how the composition "reels me in" to further examine the details of the drawing. I think this was a learning process for me to find better methods on how to show the luster of objects, and to draw lines on objects that are needed more clarity of an object, without taking away the realisticness of an object. Head to this blog post to see the sequence of photos that I took on my canon when I was deciding on what I would make my piece about in order to not only reflect images in luster objects, but to literally, reflect aspects of my personality and things that I enjoy.
