Final Exam Artist Statement

Well, throughout the half of the year I've enjoyed my time in this class because of the technology use. One particular assignment I liked that you assigned us is the typography because of how one can express their ideas with a photo and words on the photos. I liked it because I am a person of many words and I like to express it by using both pictures and words. Especially my picture of the tower in downtown Saint Paul where I had written a quote to summarize how the twin cities came out strong and is still alive and united after so many tragedies compared to other states or cities. Another I do like is my picture of Jesus where I had written a quote about how he died for us and how none or not a lot of us had sacrifice ourselves for others or for him. I really liked it because typography expressed my ideas and creativity. Initially I was going to do typography another way, which was Randal’s (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) idea. Many words of the picture or idea and compile them into an single image that represents the whole idea or image. I tried but I couldn’t go anywhere with it because it seemed complicating for me, maybe because of my small mind but I at least tried. Overall, I enjoyed working with my camera and editing them with Adobe Photoshop and using the many techniques that it had. I especially liked the dodge and burn tool, cropping tool, and the layers because you can do a lot with those tools. But yeah I liked this class and if I get a chance to take this class again I would because I felt that I just wasn’t here most of the time. Media Arts, it’s all around us whether we like it or not and that’s where my future lies with. The Media Arts, videogaming, making videogames, and etc.
