Final

  In this photo I used the Narrative purpose, three elements of art, and three purposes of design. The three elements I used are value, space and texture. The three purposes I used are emphasis, proportion, and unity. Together all of there things combine to make the art what it is. The narrative story in this artwork is that the little girl is crying because someone she loved has died. Using value helps make the picture seem more sad and fit the story better. The negative space in the background makes the girl seem more alone. The emphasis in the picture is of course the girl. Having emphasis in the photo is important because it helps the veiwer understand that the story is centered on her. The unity in the picture is also important beacause it helps make the photo look complete. Each concept in the picture is important beacuase it helps make the photo more understandable.

Movement Mash-Up

         In this project I used a renaissance painting by DaVinci called The Mona Lisa.  By using the program Photoshop I created a cubism photo of the Mona Lisa. Cubism is the process in which one creates abstract art full of what seems to be random shapes and angles. To create the cubism Mona Lisa I used the following tools; the rectangular marquee tool, the effects inner glow, a pattern, and the free transform tool. First off I used the rectangular marquee tool which helps you select a square or rectangle from the original photo. Next, I used the effects inner glow which helps create depth and make the selected square seem more like its floating in mid air. Thirdly, I put a pattern on some of the selected squares which gives the square a more finished look. Finally, I used the free transform tool. This tool helps a lot in the cubism process because it allows you to move the selected square and change its shape so it will look three dimensional. The finishes product would be considered cubism because it has in depth squares and random shapes and angles. It also has different parts of the pictures seen in many perspectives. So the Mona Lisa has now been recreated in a new creative way.
