Artist Statement

What’s the beauty in art? Is it the way that it speaks to you or the way you could read or the emotions that tag along with it. Art is a part of America today and photoshop is the new beginning. In photo class we learned how to take an artist picture with the basics like leading lines, cropping, rule of thirds and extreme angles. After we learned how to use photoshop and make are photos have more details and feelings. By the end of this class I plan to be a pro at photoshop.
The things I learned in photo class to make a basic photo were leading lines, cropping, rule of thirds and extreme angles. Leading lines are something in a picture that lead you to the emphasis in the photo. Cropping is used to make you photo to a reasonable side. Rule of thirds is like a grid line and it help you arrange your photo. Extreme angles are when you emphasis is in an angle that we don’t see all the time. All of these basic step help me to be ready for photoshop.
What is photoshop? In class we use photoshop to enhance a picture. One way is by changing your background or giving your picture more details. You could also take plain pictures and turn them in to something that would amaze others. On thing that you need to have working in photoshop is prescient, because there is times that you will mess up and have to start all over again. The good thing is that once you are use to how photoshop works, you would feel comfortable and become a pro.
Photo class is one of my favorite classes at school because I am able to speak my mind by using a photo and not my voice. This is a place where if your art is beautiful you would be able to be remember for it. In this classed I learned about my self and how many things I try to hide but in photo class I let them be shared to the world. It brings out a part of you that people don’t see everyday because they are judging by your look and not the inside. Photoshop has become so popular because most magazines are using it, so it could become a job in the future. Photo class is a place where you could find yourself. Putting all of your life problems in a picture and being able to tell your story by just looking at the picture means a lot. From turning a plain photo in to something beautiful and having the version that your can feel by looking at the piece. Photoshop is a place where you could express yourself. It could also be a job in the future. One thing I hope I don’t is forget everything I learned from this class.

Lyric

The lyrics I chose for this project are nobody not really by Alicia keys. Example” Who really cares? When I talk? What I feel? What I say? Nobody, not really who wants to take the time to understand? I would like Someone to heal me with some empathy But I can't find Nobody, not really Maybe I'm invisible to the world Does anyone on the world even think of me As more than just a hopeless cause Maybe the world is not my block My stoop My life, my dreams My anything So, who wants to help? Momma but she's so tired Papa but you're not here I’m alone in a big empty space with Nobody, not really”. I choose these lyrics because I been threw a lot in my life time already and this song brings out most of my feelings. My mother went threw beast cancer and when i need my dad to cheer me up or just to tell me everything would be alright he wasn't to be found. When I get down on myself I distance myself and feel like there is no one who cares about my feelings or what I think. I think that these lyrics are saying that no matter what you do you always have that feeling and questing yourself if someone really care about you. I am very emotional when i hear this song and can't feel any lower.

Social Issue

My social issue is about how in life we try to hide from the truth. Sometimes we try so hard to be something that we are not to be able to fit in certain kind of groups or other things. If we only know that when we go threw this issue we end up losing ourselves. When you change on your love ones the feel like you let them down and you do because the person the knew and love isn't you anymore. In life you have to learn to be yourself then life when fall in to place like it should be without you making it something other people would like it to be.

I choose this statement because at times i found myself acting like i was too good for the people that made me.I would spend my times talking to people who could care less what i think or say.I was close from losing my true friends who are going to be there threw thick and thin.In high school you could find a whole lot of students that change once they are around certain people.Just to think if we were happy for who we are today there would be no way that people would have to act a certain way to fit in.
