Project Process

As of this point I haven't actually started my project on photoshop yet, I just took some pictures. But I plan to get a pretty much empty salon for my background. I going to have 4 different versions of me in the salon interacting with each other and I'm portraying their personalities through makeup and clothes. The focus of my piece is going to be my face with half done makeup and little me's are going to be all over my face putting makeup on it.

In Class Discussion/ Brain storming

1. The class discussion actually helped me pick a scenery I want to create. The class definitely gave me a lot of ideas that I wouldn't have thought of myself. I don't really have any questions that I could think of right now until I actually start the project.

                                                              About the Space

1. I'm creating a makeup salon made up of all different personalities shown through the makeup i choose.
2. I chose this scenery because makeup is a passion of mine and it's a huge part of my identity.
3. I going to take pictures of myself in my living room but find more of a salon scenery online.
4. I want to make the environment very energized and happy because that's how I feel when I'm creating new looks with makeup and that's how I'm going to portray myself in the project.
5. No, other people will not appear in my project.
6. I want to create a happy go-lucky mood.
7. I want the tone to be very bright.

                                                             About Myself

1. I'm going to use different makeup looks to portray different identities of myself.
2. I'm also going to have myself interact with other versions of myself so that can show how I react to other people with different identities.
3. I'm not sure how many versions I'm going to include yet, at the least 5.
4. I plan to make them the same scale so the space will be more believable.
5. I'm going to have to do my makeup and then have on of my roommates take pictures of me during the day.

                                                           Collections
1. I don't intentionally collect things but if I had to put a label on it I'd say I have a collection on lipsticks.
2. The digital world affects what we actually collect. The internet gives us so many options of so many things that you wouldn't fine without going online. For example, if it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have as many lipsticks as I do because most of them I have to order online, I can't find them in stores.

Multi personality sketches

Multiple Personalities: Christine McConnell

I really like this picture because it encompasses everything that society says a woman should be or be able to do years ago. In the picture all the women are dressed in feminine clothes with their hair and makeup done. All of the women are doing some sort of house work, one it baking multiple are sewing and painting. This picture is showing the multiple tasks women had to accomplish on the daily.

My So Called Opinion

I really liked this article because our opinion are something we never really think about or dissect like this article did. I do think a lot of the point discussed are true like I think we all influence each other's opinions through social media. I think a lot of millennials feel like they can't express some of their conservative opinions because they'll be criticized by the rest of us (which they most likely will be). I do think a lot of millennials accept and embrace racial differences and the LGBTQ community, but i do feel like a lot of people just tolerate them because they don't want to be the odd ball out that says they don't agree with them. But I think it's important that we influence other millenials to be more accepting towards others who are different than them. One paragraph really stood out to me. The author "I like what I like" becomes "but should I like what I like",  and I think all millenials could relate to that. Sometimes you can't voice you own true opinion because you think people will judge you, so you change it to everyone else's opinion.

A Little Bit about Me

1. Where are you from

     Scranton, Pennsylvania.

2.  What kind of art do you like to make?

      I like to draw and paint portraits.

3. What do you hope to get out of this class?

      I would like to get comfortable with using photoshop and especially premier so I can edit videos         on my own. I plan on making my own youtube page for makeup videos so hopefully I'll learn             some editing tips from this class.

4. What is the relationship between between computers and visual studies?

     Obviously computers are a huge part of all of our lives so creating artwork on a computer only            makes sense in modern day. I think creating artwork on a computer is a completely different and          unique approach to art than we've seen in the past. People who aren't necessarily the best drawers        or painters can still make art on the computer and thats the beauty of it all.

5. What is your experience with Photoshop, Illustrator?

     I don't have any experience with Photoshop or Illustrator.

6. Do you have a computer at home? If so, does it have Photoshop or Illustrator?

     I do have a computer but it does not have Photoshop or Illustrator.

7. Do you have a Mac or PC?

     I have a Mac.

8. What apps/programs do you use most frequently?

      I use google chrome and Microsoft office a lot.

9. What for?

     I use google chrome for looking things up on the internet and Microsoft office for typing papers.

10. Who is your favorite artist?

      I love Yayoi Kusama's work, I think her patterns are so modern and interesting to look at.

11. Who is your favorite musician?

      Adam Levine

12. Tell me something interesting about yourself.

     Even though I'm an art ed major I don't really plan on being an art teacher for most of my life. I'm      mostly in the art school here at Temple because I'm really into makeup and I always say makeup        is just art on your face. So I plan on working with makeup when I graduate college.

13. Write a five line story.

    Once upon a time there was a girl named Olivia, who was originally from Bolivia. She always had     a talent for singing but her parents never believed she was good enough to make it big. She got a        gig singing at a local restaurant which she had for 3 years until Weird Al Yankovic discovered her      at this restaurant. Weird Al asked Olivia if she wanted to be in his new hit single "White n' Nerdy",    which she agreed to. "White n Nerdy" went viral and everyone who knew Olivia was shocked            she actually made it somewhere.
