The Dark Side
Digital collage 61x91cm September 20 2015 Exhibition text The art piece of my digital collage is a picture that represents pessimism . My intention was to interpret the emotion of feeling isolated and how one may be pessimist about any situations where they end up isolating themselves from everyone making these meaning be literal placing myself in a ghostly form presenting the loneliness. Planning When I was assigned this project in class I immediately started to plan as asking myself the what question ,as starting to plan what my topic would be as to what I would desire to interpret ate by this assignment. Right away I knew that I wanted to make an image that would really get into whichever audience would be viewing it and something that I would suppose that we all can connect to as to what feeling you would get by viewing it. I than knew I needed an artistic inspiration and I knew right away who I would pick and what I was going to do. As I thought of Francis bacon and how my first impression by viewing his art pieces made me have the feeling I first perceived. Process I first placed the picture of myself in the Photoshop using the quick selection tool. After tracing myself with the quick selection tool I added a new layer that layer being the picture I took of the dark alley. than I copied the picture of myself and pasted it on to the dark alley layer. Than I used the refine edge to make the picture of myself look blended in into the dark alley picture. Than I used the color option and made the moon having the eclipse took quite some time blending and adding contrast to create that illusion of it being and looking like a real eclipse although I did make the moon dark because that just went with my whole point of presentation. Finally my last step was when I used the healing brush tool to create that ghostly illusion of me. Artistic inspiration For my digital collage my artistic inspiration for this art piece is Francis Bacon. I choose Francis Bacon. His art pieces present various aspects that in his art make the art piece be viewed in a very deep unhappy scary view. http://theopenend.com/2013/05/10/francis-bacons-screaming-pope/ |
