Pen Tool Exercise

Practicing using  pen tool which was hard at first but once i understood how the pen tool work it wasn't that hard. it took me a while to finish this exercise especially C and D.

The second exercise  was easier to do because I had understood how the pen tool work. I tool less time doing this exercise then the first exercise.

This exercise was one of my favorite to do but at first I was having trouble and i had to restart all over. The reason was that I forgot to make a new layer and make the original layer a templet. Still undecided if i should leave part of the face white.

Differences between Appropriation and Plagiarism

Describe the difference between appropriation and plagiarism.  Appropriation is a word that is used by media artists to describe the visual or rhetorical action of taking over the meaning of something that is already known, and making it your own. Plagiarism is the act of taking another person's ideas and passing it off as your own such as writing, conversation, and song.

Artist of the Day

Artist of the day Marcela Bolívar, this image stood out to me from the rest of the other images by its used of detail in color. The background has shades of dark colors but the subject has just enough light to capture your eye sight.The image looks so realistic. She seems to be popping out of the frame. You can also tell something tragic has happen by the used of colors and how the leaves are surround her body as if she was trap and had nowhere to go. A story could be writing by just this image.
