Letter to the Past
Dear past self To be successful in a digital art class, you must think outside the box to create solutions to problems that might seem perplexing. Most problems can be resolved with some creativity and photoshop skill. The more you play around in photoshop, the more experienced and skilled you will become. There's a big learning curve when it comes to photoshop, and the ability to implement design aspects that you picture in your head will present itself through continuous practice. When you have become adroit, you will be able to create work like this. This project applies positive and negative space to create an image. Even though there is no color, you can discern the different objects and animals in this image because of the contrast of black and white.

I feel that the random brush strokes accentuate the mood of the painting by making it look more sloppy and less refined. They're very realistic looking, but the paint strokes remind you that you're still looking at a painting. 4. After watching the TedTalk, I know that the artist was attempting to deceive you and make you believe the pictures are paintings. She is excellent at depersonification and making you believe that the people are paint, when they are only coated in it.
