Painting to Life: "All Wound Up"

In my painting to life assignment, I chose the painting "All Wound Up" by Arleigh Schwarz. In the video, I'm working on a crochet project (a scarf) in my apartment. While I'm working on the scarf, I don't notice it being dragged away by my cat. As I get to the end of the yarn and reach down to grab a new ball I realize it's gone so I put the camera on my feet as I search through the house. I cross paths with my mom then get on the floor to check in the box (maybe I misplaced it) where all my yarn is. I see my cat so I go...

Diversity Project

For the diversity assignment, I decided to introduce my partner Henna to the world of theater, but probably not exactly what she would expect.

Visual Review 10: Beyoncé "Countdown"

The video opens with a close shot of Knowles as she begins...

Self Portrait

I decided to take this photo because I'm always facing towards the camera and always smiling so I wanted to do the opposite for this portrait. I used curve adjustments did a cross process (RGB) which really enhanced the colors in the photo, making the green and red very rich giving it a nice contrast. I then used a tilt shift blur which allowed me to pick center spot--wherever I wanted that to be--and distort and twist everything around...

Visual Review 9: Esperanza Spalding's Website

Esperanza Spalding Website The website I chose was Esperanza Spalding's. Spalding is an American multi-instrumentalist best known as a jazz bassist and singer. I chose this website because it was actually memorable visually due to its simplicity. When you first visit esperanzaspalding.com you are shown a picture frame. Within the picture frame is a collage with two doors. Each of the doors represent two of her albums. The grey door...

10th Original Photo: Repulsive (Litter)

Repulsive It may seem weird or even gross to you. But if you had to clean out the litter box of two cats who share the same box for 7+ years, you'd be repulsed by it. Cause I definitely a...
