Selfie
Captain Colors
Artist Statement
This selfie is called Captain Colors. In this image I’m trying to give the message of how much I enjoy positive things and that I’m also very creative. The first layer is a selfie that I took of myself. The second layer is an image of my journal. There are marvel superheroes on it because I’ve always loved superheroes. I decided to make that the background of my selfie because my journal is very important to me, it’s where I draw and write creative stories. The third layer is an image of a glass that contains my color pencils and paint brushes in it. I love to draw, which is why I took a picture of my tools. The last layer is an image of a necklace that was given to me by my aunt. I have a strong connection with that necklace. I put the necklace and glass with art supplies on each side of my selfie to have a little balance. This whole image is called Captain Colors. The captain relates to my love of superheroes and the colors relates to my love of art. I love drawing with many colors because it makes me feel calm and relaxed.

Double Exposure
Artist Statement:
In this double exposure I used trees as my landscape. These trees mean a lot to me because I took them right outside of my house. One of these trees also has a bird house that we built into it. I have many memories of playing around these trees when I was little. Whenever I look at these trees it gives me a happy feeling. I wish I could have taken a picture of these trees during the summer, because they give me an even happier feeling. I also chose this quote from Walt Disney because I can relate to it so much. I have so many dreams. But I feel like I haven't had the courage to pursue them yet. This quote is very inspiring to me.
Final Artist Statement (Juxtaposition):
The selfie that I took at the beginning of this trimester doesn't look very balanced. Where as the double exposure that I took more recently looks more balanced. Also, the selfie has a lot of stuff happening in the background and it's taking away the attention from the actual selfie. But the double exposure has a less noisy background. Lastly, I think the blending of the images looks better in the double exposure than it does in the selfie. In my opinion, the double exposure looks more appealing to look at than the selfie.
