Artist Statement

For my "Somewhere" project assignment I decided to insert myself in the scene from The Walking Dead. I thought it would be fun to become part of a zombie herd as the show itself has hired fans to be zombie set extras. Conveniently enough I had a recent photo of me looking down which I thought was perfect for the original picture selected as the sun and shadows were coming from the same direction. I did not follow any tutorials on how to complete this project, instead I wanted to apply what I had recently learned from the in-class tutorials. I used the Object Selection tool to isolate myself from the background of my image then I did the same to the central zombie and arranged the layers so that I am approaching from behind him. I then worked with the Object Selection tool, Clone Stamp tool, Layer masks, and Overlays to give myself a decaying look.

Final Animated GIF Original Image used Artist Statement  For this animation project I illustrated and animated a fish with bubbles. I was inspired by the Goldfish cracker stop motion animation seen in advertising. The title of my animation is "Don't burst my bubble", I thought it was a clever play on words that fits with the animation at hand. For this assignment I followed the tutorial provided as well as a few from YouTube which helped me get specific help in the areas that I was confused on. This is my first time utilizing the frame animation panel in Photoshop therefore I wanted to try making something simple since I am a beginner in this section of the Adobe Programs. Additionally, I was not able to fully complete this project as I have a family emergency and would not be able to get additional class help. I did submit what I had completed despite it being shorter than required and partially complete.

Specifically, the photo that features Natalia Voronitsya laying down on a couch with her computer on her lap and the medication on the side table in the background.  I like this photo because it is one of the more creative ones in this collection. The placement and composition stood out to me which is why I clicked on the photograph to explore it closer and learn more about the story behind it.  The tragic and unfortunate occurrence of her condition partnered with the look in her eyes and expression made me feel deeply for her. The caption perfect described her with the word "confined" which added to the power behind the image.  Natalia's face has a hopeless look while also having her laptop open which shows that she is simultaneously trying to do something. Yet the screen isn't on and it's black and matching the emp...
