Scary Expressions

When I look at this picture it makes me think of the monster's we all contain. The inner cruelty we all share. The internal being, which we all can be sometimes, is on my external appearance.

When I look at this picture it makes me think of how ugly I look. The zombie look doesn't work well with me. It is definitely scary and disturbing. I enjoyed creating something out of the ordinary, though. Its cool to make something crazy every once in a while.

When I look at this picture it makes me think of a movie. I picture myself jumping away and being horrifically surprised to see the ghosts. I liked this project for the simple fact that we were able to portray an emotion in our art.

The Scream - My Interpretation

My interpretation of “The Scream” is the painting has a simple meaning. A man is screaming because of the surroundings. The world is full of intensity and different sights that aren’t always attractive. The surroundings are full of brilliant colors with wavy brush strokes that give off a sense of melancholy and despair. I believe that man is screaming because he is alone on a bridge in the middle of this extreme environment.

Creative Me

This project was an opportunity for us to put the tools we have learned to use. We were to take one of our portraits, and change it creatively using the following: selection tools, layers, adjustment layers, layer styles, blending options, paint brushes and opacity.

I like how the black and white clash with the bright colors we had to use. I like how the magnetic lasso works perfectly with selecting objects. I am pretty confident with my Photoshop skills so far.
