Anamorphosis Critique!

Anamorphosis Critique

The very first thing I did was google a photo of something i wanted to draw. I chose a pink perfume bottle. I then used photoshop to transform  the scale of the photo, so the perspective looked different. After that, we drew a grid over that photoshopped photo and then also a grid in our notebook. After that we traced the same grid in our sketchbook and started drawing the photo. The value of the photo looked different becauset its not the way the photo originally looked. When we finished, we used colored pencils to make the drawing realistic, and we also drew a shadow so when we look at the drawing at a certain angle it looked like it was standing up. This whole process is anamorphosis.

Famous Landmark or Transportation Stencil Critique

I first found a photo of three landmarks, one being the Santee Cooper Bridge in South Carolina. I then saved all three photos and put them into photoshop. I changed the threshold so the photos had postive and negative space, with a visible contrast. and then printed them. South Carolina has always been like a second home to me, so i made sure to find newspaper and book pages that related to how i felt about south carolina. i collaged together lots of color, a lot of homemade food recipies, and a lot of photos of water. After I finished my newspaper collage I took a photo of my photoshopped bridge with the camera and plugged it into the projector, so i could take a poster board and trace the photo. After i traced my bridge onto the poster board i used an Xacto Knife and cut out pieces i wanted to be spraypainted over. We took the newmade stencil and took the newspaper-covered paper outside, and spraypainted patterns and colors all over it. Then we layed the stencil on top and sprayed that black so the stencil showed up. The composition of the newspaper and stencil made the whole project look amazing.
