Somewhere artist statement

     This project focused mainly on celebrating a goal that I have accomplished. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be in High School Musical. Let's face it, what kid doesn't want to be in High School Musical? Ever since I saw this movie I was ready to go to Highschool. The movie aided me in accepting my true self with all the life examples they gave throughout the film. For example, the lunch scene, when Zeke admits that he baked cookies and then everyone revealed their secrets as well. It made me want to embrace everything I didn't like about myself after watching them accept their inner selves. I learned young that if I accept who I am, other people will accept me too.  “We're all in this together," was one of the most essential things I took away from those films. A fundamental tenet of the movie is that there is power in numbers. As an example, consider music. A solo piece is beautiful, but an ensemble piece allows everyone to shine. We'll have our own achievements, but how much sweeter are they when we can share them with the people we care about? I have applied this message throughout my basketball career. Even when it ultimately dawned on me that High School was nothing like the movie, I recalled the crucial lessons it taught. Go ahead and do anything you want, even if it's unexpected. Make the most of your high school experience. Despite the fact that I graduated from college in May of 2021, I wanted to reflect on the past. A simple message had a profound effect on my life.

       Photoshop, for me, is a tool for creating a compelling visual world.  It is also a means for me to explore the spectrum of possibilities made available by my material selection. I also use it as an opportunity to experiment with the various possibilities opened up by slight adjustments in color, composition, and technique of application. Overthinking was the theme of my project, and it's something I do a lot. Everyone, at times, overthinks things. Overthinking has been related to anxiety and depression, but when you're in the thick of it, however, it's difficult to tell what state you are in. The reason I used the clouded head and space background is because the more I ponder an issue, the worse I feel. And, because emotions may cloud my judgment, it becomes more difficult to take a proactive approach which leaves me feeling lost or uncertain. Everyday, my boyfriend would ask me “ what do you want to eat?” and everyday, i would tell him “ i don't know, it...

  Artist statement:  Completing this project was a fun experience. I wasn't sure how I was going to finish this project at first, but after playing around in Adobe Illustrator, I discovered that the "envelope distort" to "make with top object" would be the ideal tool for the job. If you want to utilize an item as the envelope's shape, make sure it's at the top of the stacking order for the object you want to use. My first idea was to base my writing around a dolphin. The dolphin was my source of inspiration. The dolphin symbol sends a profound message by representing eternal life. Because of their intellect and conversational personalities, dolphins are one of my favorite species. Dolphins are well-known for their elegance and beauty. Dolphins communicate using a language that contains sounds with various functions, just like people, as well as examples of enjoyment, fun, teaching, and social cohabitation behaviors. So I wanted my letter to speak through...

Tagbrush

  I wanted my tag brush to be a representation of my interests. The water and the lovely palm trees were two of the reasons I moved to Florida. Moving to Florida was one of the best moves I've made lately, and I wanted my tag brush to reflect that. My tag brush involves pouring color and using conventional brush strokes to create a picture. I wanted my tag to be straightforward and easy to remember.       Humans rely significantly on being able to comprehend and interpret information. So color choice has been shown to impact human behavior. I used the color blue because it is favored by so many people. Another reason is because it is mainly viewed as a traditional, non threatening hue, that leaves the mind feeling calm or serene. It leaves a feeling of trust and confidence that can reduce stress.
