Pop art

We began the pop art project by taking pictures of our partner. After choosing an ideal spot in the courtyard, I took several shots of my partner, Ava, and then uploaded the best into photoshop to begin the editing process. After studying the picture, I added a filter over Ava's body. This gave it some cool texture that really contributed to the overall "pop art" look. Next, I colored each individual brick on the brick wall background different colors. This pop of color really spoke for itself when it came to being pop art.  

Going into this project, I didn't have any initial design ideas or color scheme ideas. I liked pink and orange so I did end up incorporating them into my work but that was my only idea. I ended up using many bright colors such as pink, orange, and bright blue. 


My work was probably inspired most by Roy Liechtenstein's work. He used dots and bright colors to show simplicity and yet, also complexity at the same time which was what I was going for. 

This was a very interesting and new type of project. I had to use different techniques then what I enjoy and am used to using. I learned a lot throughout this experience and project. Filters now are easily located when I need one and there are so many different brushes that I can use. This was a very cool project and helped me broaden my comfort zone.
