Contrast and Composition

I thought this piece was really fun to paint and it was really using creativity. I was really upset that my third drawing went missing, but at least the two I still have are pretty successful. I think they are successful because there are a lot of letters all combined together and it really catches peoples' attention when trying to figure out which letters are which. When doing this project the thing that worked was picking parts of letters and combining them with other parts of other letters. What didnt really work was trying to put whole letters everywhere in the picture. If I was to do this over again, I would probably just be more careful and make sure all of my lines are crisp and straight. The most difficult part of this piece was the painting once again. This took a lot of patience and I had to be careful when drawing my lines and curves. I learned that by just picking certain pieces of different letters, you can make a picture interesting and attractive.

Positive and Negative Spaces

This piece was fun but I had to have a lot of patience when paiting so that I wouldn't mess up the white and the black on accident. I think this piece was pretty successful because its pretty easy to figure out which letters are which and that was what I wanted. If I was to do this project over again, I probably would have picked more difficult letters and probably zoom in on the letters more. The most difficult part of this piece was the painting, it was hard to find just the right paint brush and have the right amount of paint to fill the area neatly. From this piece, I learned that painting is not the easiest thing in the world and it takes a lot of time and patience.

Art Careers: Photography

I chose this career because I think that photography is a really unique and it would be fun. When picking a career, you have to find something you'd enjoy since you will be doing it every day. For me, photography is something that could intrest me from day to day and not get boring. On average, the salary for photographers is $26,080 per year. The duty of a photographer is to use their artistic abilties and technical skill to use a camera, lenses, and lights to take interest pictures that get peoples' attention.
To be a photographer, one must go to school for 2-4 years depending on the college and the schooling needed training how to use the cameras and taking pictures. The people a photographer works with depends on where they work; if they work for the newpaper, then they would be working with the editors of newspapers. If they work for weddings, birthdays, anniversarys and etc. then they would be working with a variety of many different people. As you can see there are many people that photographers work with so to be a photographer one must be social and like to be with people.
After this research, I would definitely consider this career for myself because it would be enjoyable and fun, and it would be something I believe i would really be interested in. It would keep my interest for a very long time. I will consider it when I choose my career.
