Baños to Riobamba


   
     


The photograph I chose was from my trip to Ecuador. We had a great day in the city of Baños and on our way back I was looking out at the mountains; they were so colorful. The landscape in Ecuador is so untouched and I could not help myself I had to capture the moment. Last semester was my first time using photoshop, but this experience was totally different. I was able to use different brushes, tools, and colors to build off of my artwork. Prior, to this project I had to use many tools to make my end product. I would have to create effects using different tools and edit stock photographs to make an advertisement or logo. While this project was a simpler and more meticulous I enjoyed the end result much more. It truly enhanced the concept of perception among the impressionists.

Lito Mayo

Lito Mayo was a Filipino  artist since the 1970's. I love the creativity in this painting,  Self-Portrait of Lio Mayo made in 1981.

He was offically known as a  Filipino graphic artist, print-maker, avantegarde poet, social activist, sculptor, satirist, and art professor. He spent a lot of time in museums working on art pieces before moving into his offical career as an artist.

Frida Kahlo: Roots, 1943

Image
"Roots" 1943 Created By: Frida Kahlo Written By: Madison Herley The painting "Roots" created by Frida Kahlo in 1943 represents the artist herself. I choose the painting "Roots"  because it was an unique style of a portrait. For example, usually portraits are a close up of someones face. However, in Frida's painting it is a wide shot of herself on some type of land with roots coming out of her torso. Some researchers believe Frida was inspired to create this painting because she alway had a dream of being able to give birth since she was a childless woman. In addition, other researchers have predicted that Frida is mimicking the Catholic religion with a Christ sacrifice by having her blood flowing to the vines. Furthermore, this sacrifice has been connected to some of Fridas other work as well. I did like this photo the best because she used a lot of warm tones to create the painting. The color of her dress and the vine branches stood...
