Week 5

  This is my fifth week of my Introduction to Digital Art and Media class. This week was a very informative one full of knowledge. My favorite assignment I did this week was my photography categories assignment. We learned about the many different types of photography, like fine art portraiture, conceptual, nature, landscape, architectural, still life, street, and product photography. I really enjoyed doing this assignment because with the new techniques of photography that I learned, I took pictures using these techniques, and to be honest, I really liked how the pictures turned out, and I feel like while doing this assignment, I looked more into the pictures and noticed details I hadn’t noticed before about what categories these pictures would fit into. After selecting the pictures I needed, I then transferred them into Adobe Spark where I then finished my assignment. Also, we learned about the future and past in the world of photography and how it has changed then and now and in the future and for the better. To be honest, I'm very excited for the future of photography. This week we also learned about a few digital art artists, such as Charles Cisuri, whose computer work was out of this world amazing; Paul Smith, who used a typewriter to create art; and Jia Jia Fei. Her message was so strong and interesting. I find it very interesting the way social media influences art. These were just some of the artists that I learned about this week. Lastly, I also learned about the Center for Creative Photography. I would also like to visit the museum and learn more about photography and its history. Talking about the museum in its discussion was really cool, learning about diversity and how sports connects us all. Overall it was a very fun and informative week, and I can't wait to see what I'll learn next.

Week 3

     This is my third week of my Introduction to Digital Art and Media class. This week was a very interesting one, crammed with knowledge. We learned about Mathew Carter and his career and the faces he has created. He also talks about typography and its changes, how it has evolved. I find it very interesting and amusing, to be honest. We actually learned about many more artists like Jeffry Shaw, Simon Jr., and Erwin Redl. Erwin Redl is an Australian artist that has very amusing and just mind-blowing art, if you ask me. The way he uses light to create such beautiful work is just breathtaking to me. It truly gives you another perspective of a whole different type of art many of us didn't know of. We also learned this week about the elements of art and what it takes to create art. The color, lines, texture, form, and shape. We also learned about its principles, like movement, proportion, contrast, and rhythm. We also learned how to use these elements with Adobe Capture...

Week 2

    This is my second week of my Introduction to Digital Art and Media class. This week was a very interesting one, and I gained a lot of knowledge. We learned about plagiarism and its consequences. But also how to correctly copy and write my work with the information provided. Something new about copyrights that I personally never knew is how easy it is for you to copyright your own work and that it's not as expensive as I initially thought it would be; it's actually pretty cheap. This week was not just full of knowledge but also very fun exploring the Guggenheim Museum. Learning about its beautiful structure and its art on the inside. Personally for me this was one of the most interesting assignments yet. It was my first time looking into a digital art museum, and honestly now I would like to visit it; now it would be a great experience. Lastly, I also learned how to use Adobe Express and create my own little story. For my first time using Adobe Express, I hope I did well. T...

Week 4

   This is my third week of my Introduction to Digital Art and Media class. This week was a very informative one, crammed with knowledge. We learned about different types of devices we can use to do different types of art. We also learned about the different cameras there are and the many uses they have. I liked how the prices for the cameras were provided along with affordable options in case we can't get the pricier ones. I also learned about the different types of software we will be using for this course, which I am nervous about since I have never used any of these programs before. We also learned about the evolution of technology, which is very shocking to know due to how advanced it is now. This week I also got to create a Behance account and learned about similar platforms like Shutterfly, Flickr, and SmugMug to upload art to. In this week's assignment I learned about capture patterns, shapes & looks. This assignment was one of my favorites; it was very fun, and I ...
