My project was made on tinkercad.  I designed a caterpillar.  I did a caterpillar for my little sister because she really likes bugs and I thought she would be excited.  When I first started the project I watched some tutorials on how to do it. Then I started to design my project.  A success I encountered was learning to move the pieces up and down.  A failure I encountered was accidentally not saving the project, and I had to start again.  Luckily I remembered what I did.  In the project I learned about doing 3D modeling and how to use different tools to make different things.  Something I learned about myself is that I am not good at computer programs.  It is something that takes me awhile to get the hand of.  I would watch more videos and try something more complex if I were to do it again.  Since this is my first time, I think I took the easier root.  I made something easier then others made.  A tip I have is watch a few video tutorials on how to work the program you are using before you start so it is easier.  This project has inspired me to try to use the 3D printer next time. The tool did not have any specific thing to help me convey the message.  I personally feel I could of done this on any 3D modeling website.  

My project is IMage editing, where I took a certain picture and changed it to an image that is different. The tool I chose to use was Pixlr. I wanted to change the scenery of the image. The image I chose to use is cat’s eyes. The original image was very light and bright. I wanted to totally change that around. I wanted to make the image dark. So I darkened the image and changed the image to green. I chose green because cat’s can see in the dark and the color they see is green. I also added another picture on top of the cat’s head of a dark forest. I felt as though this gave the picture a dark and mysterious view. The last tools I used was the brush and the eraser. I used the brush to make the background black and the eraser to smooth out the additional image. I actually changed the image I decided to focus on at first. It was also an eye but I felt as though I couldn’t really do anything with it. So I changed the image and the goal I planned on completing when I started this project. I learned that Image editing is more than just adding a filter and being finished. It takes actual skill and precision. I also learned that I actually have skills in image editing. I did way more than I thought I could do such as adding an image inside an image and making the image fit. I would use my time in class more efficiently next time because I could have done better if I put in more time. I would advise anyone to plan out exactly everything you want to do and not wing it. This project inspired me to look more at image editing and try to do some on my free time.

I will insert the final image, the image that I first started out with, and the additional image that was put in the project.

The project that I chose was video editing. The goal for the project was to create a 1 to 3 minute video that on content that we have choose. During this process, I hoped to learn how usual people make videos and movies that are produced. I created a video on how to create your own art style because I feel like as an artist this is something that we all need to work on.When going through this process, I thought about what exactly I would want to do and what is something that wouldn’t be difficult for me to do. Once I came up with what I want to do, then what I want to create it on. After that I tried to find fair use photos to use. After that I had to get videos and other things in order to fully make my video.Some successes were the videos that I have recorded of me drawing for the video of the time-lapse. The video was clear and steady and you could have seen everything that I did . Some failures is that I wish I could have brought back more of my own music because I feel like the song I was originally gonna chose would have made it better.I learned how to timelapse videos for my drawing and now if I ever wanted to do that again if I make a Youtube video of me drawing, I know how to do it then.I learned that if I have the flexibility for a project, I will always incorporate  some sort of artistic piece because that is what I did for this project too. Art comes easy to me because it just flows so I really feel comfortable in doing so.

I would just make sure that I transfer my own music because would have been better to me.I would tell them to not procrastinate because I procrastinated a little but even that light bit had messed up everything for me. Time management is key.I kind of inspired me to make a Youtube channel just because of the time lapse. The tool I used was WeVideo and it helped me create my message better because it all came together pretty well for me if I do say so myself. I feel this way because I honestly took time to make this better for myself and I know that I could do better, but at this point I don’t have much time left for that. I used tools like overlapping the backgrounds with the text as well as adding the transitions because it made everything flow good and it made it look professional.

The first thing I did was procrastinate for about a week. (lol). After that I went from one topic to another. I went to doing challenges from my favorite youtubers then doing a dance video. Until I decided to do a Hair and Skin video at the last minute. It took me about two days to complete this video. I had fun filming it and putting it together. In Addition, learning how to use IMovie was a lot of fun.

My project consists of 7 photos in one, along with a couple more layers. My goal was to ultimately learn more about image editing, and I was definitely successful in doing so. Overall, I wanted the image to have the story of a person running, representing life, while the demons represent negativity or real demons, and the angels represent encouragement or real angels. The first thing I did for this project was put the photos on the background. After I did that, I moved them around so that they would seem like they are in the correct place, and where I wanted them to be. For the demons, I wanted it to look like they were behind the person running. For the angels, I wanted them to look like they were guiding the person running, so I put them in the air in front of the trees. Then, I tried to make the ground darker so that the demons would flow better, and that was a failure at first. I darkened the angels just a bit so that they would blend in better, and that gave them a sort of glow, which was cool. What was a first a failure, trying to make the demons flow, turned into a success because I turned the opacity down slightly to make them look more ghostly.

Through the completion of the project, I learned how to put images on other images, edit certain areas in the image, change the brightness and contrast as well as the color of the image, create layers, and duplicate images. What I learned about myself is that it is good to get help for something you are new at. However, at some point, I learned to figure it out myself, which benefited me in the end. The main problem I faced was the technical side of things. So, I really wouldn’t have done anything differently if I knew the same as I knew at the beginning of this project. One tip I would give others doing this project is get to know everything there is to know about your image editing program. Whether you are using Adobe, Pixlr, Polarr, or Inkscape, know as much as you can about the program, and if you don’t understand anything, ask questions. Also, never give up, because there were parts where I was frustrated, but I kept going, and eventually learned something new. This whole project inspired me to build things, whether online or not, and made more creative overall.
