I know that this project should have been a frame that you could put up in your house, but I thought it would be cool to create something that I could keep with me everywhere I go to help me remember my junior year. I could either keep it up on a wall or, which is what I will do, keep it in my wallet so that every time I open it I could see it. I think it’s a great way to keep this memory with me available to look at wherever I go.

for my fauvism assignment, i decided to use my friend Keo and recreate his outfit with the colors that match his personality. i wanted it to focus more on him rather than the background so i just drew him and colored the background with his colors. i made him blue because he has a relaxed and calm personality in general, and just a really laid back kind of guy. for his shoes, i made them purple because he’s also very independent and can stand his ground by himself. his hoodie is red and green because green represents him being a kind and caring individual, and red represents him being bold and passionate in whatever he’s working on. overall, he’s a laid back person who is very independent, caring and passionate.

i think this moment will forever carry on whenever it comes to people playing catch, like someone catching an ball that’s out of reach with one hand and yelling “Odell!!” just like shooting a bottle or something into a trash can and yelling “Kobe!!” i bet everyone and their mother knows about this catch.

i think this just shows that some things we may see on social media could be just really well edited photos to the point where you wouldn’t even notice it. not everything you see on the internet is real since anyone could edit their photos to the best of their ability. it kind of messes with the authenticity of everybody but we all want to look our best on social media and it’s completely understandable.

for assignment 3 i took inspiration from tyler and aj’s photos but put my own little twist on it. it kind of relates to my assignment from last week where the shark is in space but this time it’s an astronaut controlling a spaceship that’s built like a person rocketing out to space (which is the blue and green complimentary colors). i tried to make the middle piece of the rocket ship as a company name being “I need my space.”

for assignment #2, the character i made was a shark astronaut floating in space. for the background, the complimentary colors i chose were yellow and purple and i think it really fit the concept of the drawing; purple being space and the darkness, and yellow being the planets and the brightness. i put a few related stickers around him and i forgot that shark doesn’t have legs and i should’ve gave him a tail instead :( i feel like everything goes together very well though.
