Summer Project
Still Life Drawings
Process:
Recording process of still life was difficult to do. When working with still life I like to work quickly to get the correct shadows at the time. Most of the drawings were complete within a number of hours making it difficult to record the step by step process. When experimenting with different mediums, while creating self portraits I recognized that a pencil would work best in bringing out maximum detail in still life drawings.

Self-Portraits
Process:
While creating my self portraits, I thought it would be best to experiment with other mediums I did not feel completely comfortable with. With my first self portrait I used a pencil which I found the easiest as I could erase my mistakes and create a more realistic result. Then I decided to experiment with a pen, this became the most difficult because I could not only not erase but I found it troubling to bring out the true value and for of the image by consistently holding back from using the pen with more pressure. For my last self portrait I used color pencils which was something completely new for me. I used about five colors and I was doubting if I could create a realistic image. However, I believe it was my most successful piece, and after reflecting upon its use I noticed a similar technique used between color pencils and paint. Painting and using color pencils requires full attention in distinguishing color, but I believe it ultimately brings out the most realistic detail in my work.

Photo Journalism
100 images
Process/Experimentation:
Throughout this photojournalism project I made my best effort to capture what I see in my every day life; representing this by photographing my family, neighborhood, stores, etc. While working on this piece I decided to use light to my advantage, doing so while taking the pictures by standing in certain angles to get the best picture. I also decided to experiment with different shades of color in order to captivate a certain feeling I wanted to portray through the image. Once finishing these photographs I wanted to truly capture what life looks like to me.
