This week I worked on finishing my project. Unfortunately I did not finish because I did not have class time today because of a GSI meeting, but I am just about finished. I put these african kids playing soccer in a professional soccer game and I think it turned out really well. I made them look like a drawing and put them on a piece of paper, and I am holding the paper.

This week we started on a project that you have to put something in an image to completely change it. What I am doing is putting African kids playing soccer on a real soccer field. Now we are changing the color of an image to make it have a different emotion

Self Portrait

This year we are starting a project doing a self portrait of ourselves. It is supposed to reflect the literal meaning of our name. "Jack" means gracious to God. "Cordes" means cord or string maker. "Thompson" means twin. I was think about making an image where two men (probably me) are hanging from a string that wraps around one of God's fingers. I will be working on this next week.

Surreal

This week I finished my second surreal piece. I think it turned out really well and I enjoyed making it. I also Started making two things this week. One was a flower contest for worth100 and another was the drawing tutorial. I don't think the flower piece is that good, but I really only had a day and a half to make it. I am now currently working on the drawing.

Surreal

This is my surreal piece that I did a couple weeks ago. I feel like this is a strong piece and I am working on another surreal piece at the moment. Both of them were tutorials that were on the website the bearded man gave us. I am having fun doing the surreal piece I am working on now because a couple of my friends are in it.

FIRE

This week I mostly worked on my tutorial. I decided to do the "Ice Ice" tutorial and change it to "Fire Fire." I think it is turning out really well and I really like the way it looks. I found a really cool flame brush that I used and I think it enhanced my art. I will finish this next week and hopefully begin something else.

Three Animal Combination

This week I combined three animals together. I combined a alligator, a shark, and rhino. I took the head of the rhino and the fins of the shark and put them on the body of the gator. It was pretty cool because the bearded man taught me how to use the stamp tool and the puppet warp tool which are both really useful tools. I really liked this project and I hope we do something else like this soon.
