Phobia Picture

David Meanix

THREE ART PIECES THAT I FOUND INTERESTING ABOVE:
Why i found them interesting is because for some reason the disturbed me and caught my eye. there is something about all the picture that makes them image stand out in a way that made me think about what the person that was tour apart was thinking. if you look at all the peoples' eyes, except for the first one, they all have the same straight expression which makes me think that they are all torn apart inside and that is why they ere selected to be torn apart on the outside. this way they show there actual feelings. about the first image, i feel as if the person wants to be hidden away from the preying eyes that seem to judge everything. thats why i think he chose her.. to show that other people are afraid of being seen.


in a way i like his work and in a way i dont. i like it because it makes me think about why he would want to tear all those people up. like what gave him the idea to just rip apart a persons' face and put it back together like a puzzle piece. in another way, the peoples eyes and other images bother me. like they are tooo deep or something.

TOP FIVE FEARS:
5.) loosing the love of my life
4.) trusting people with secrets
3.) depending on people
2.) loosing all my family
1.) being alone all my life

Mermake: True love story

              Mermake: The story finally out in the open. 

For the first time in history, I was able to develop a story that no one else was able to for a newspaper edition. Mia, the first Mermake of her kind, and the last one. Below the article is pictures from her past to currently. Here is the article the world has been waiting for since One Eye Moody, the evil scientist, trial went on.  

     As you all know, mermaid's have been around for ages. recently learning how to survive on land, they were able to live among us humans peacefully and without a single trace a worried that something bad was going to happen to them. Mia, being the youngest of the Thomas family(4 years old), was walking along the side of the ocean one day, as usual, when another four year old named Rob came up and started to ask her questions. Being overly persistent, Rob just wouldn't leave Mia alone and all she wanted to do was have her peaceful walk before having to go back in. Finally, she answered his question, which lead down a path of fifty more. When she couldn't take anymore question, she came up with the excuse that she had to go back home now, and before a single goodbye go be said, she jumped into the ocean and swam away.

     The next day, when she went for her walk, Rob was right there waiting for her with a ton of more questions that peppered her brain and gave her a headache. but there was something about this kid, probably his persistent attitude, that caught her attention and made her like him. They grew into a routine where they would meet at the same point of the beach everyday at three o'clock and just talk, and their friendship grew. One day, inviting her to come to his home to play with his toys, Mia agreed and went to tell her parents. when they were finally back together, Rob walked Mia to his house that was right on  the edge of the beach. looking up at the house, Mia saw some creepy looking dude that was staring through the slit in the current and watch them the entire time they played. Finally telling rob about her uneasiness, Rob explained that it was just his father. Feeling reassurance, Rob left Mia to grab more toys out of his room. while he was gone, Mia walked over to the fence and watch the current go in and out. with her back turned to the house, she didn't see his father, a.k.a Mad Eye Moody, walking towards her with a gag and a bag to throw over her head. Next thing she knew, she was knocked unconscious and dragged away.

      When Rob came back, he thought that Mia had just abandoned him and didn't know what to think. walking with his head down into the house, he trudged a path of sand up to his room and locked himself in there for the rest of the night. Down in the basement, his father was going insane, but yet had the right mind to hook mia up to the new water generator. while Mia was unconscious, he sawed off her arm in a hasty attempt to make a new species. Attaching a snake tail where her arm use to be, he left her to wake up on her own, and went to bed, without a trace of guilt to what he did to this poor little girl. 

       In the morning morning when rob woke up, he slowly walked to the kitchen, feeling as though his one true friend had abandoned him. when pouring himself a bowl of cereal, he heard the faintest attempts of screams coming from the basement door. Not having any idea of what it could be, and deciding not to wake up his father, he slowly crept down the stairs, to find Mia strapped down to the examine table with a snake tail arm. Releasing her, he watched in disbelief as the tried to move the snake tail that was in the place of her arm. reaching for the basement phone, he didn't even have to guess who did this to her, and he called the cops to come here and arrest his father. 

    when his the police finally came to his house, they found evidence of Mia blood in the nail beds of the father.

In the photos above, I think that the tools used would have to be color adjustments to help them have similar contrasts and possibly i think the used the blur tool to make them blend easier. the dodge and burn tool too possibly. but there could be tools that I don't know of personally that they could have used

Frandy Jean Haitian Painter

What I learned today about Haiti was about their social rank and their president term. For the social rank, the higher you live on the hill, the richer you are so you would want to be at the top. About the president terms, there could be more than twenty people running for president, where as here we only primarily vote for two. There, they don't narrow it down like we do, and the president has five years in office.
I also learned that Frandy inspiration for the jewelry came from the earth quake that brought devastation  to his people. He makes all his jewelry out of recycled paper and I find that very interesting.

Untooning

throughout this process, I used multiple tools to help make this model look like a cartoon. First I used the black and white tool under image adjustments to match the other photo even in the color. then I went under filter and hit poster tools to adjust the texture. when i was finishing adjusting it, i use the blur tool to make the appearance of the skin look plastic like. and that is how i transformed my figure to look cartoonish.

Why I chose this and statistics:
I chose this topic for multiply reasons. Not only was I once afraid of just being me in school, but I know tons of others were/ or still are worried about being an outcast. Also, I want kids that come into the high school to be able to join band and not have to worry that people behind the scenes are judging them- that there is no cookie cutter image of how you have to be in high school; that you are aloud to be different but still fit in. It is a fact that 75% of high school kids join or don't join things because of peer pressure or the fear of being labeled an outcast. Another fact is that 64.3% of graduates regret not joinging or doing the things they want to because they were worried about being judge. One last fact is that out of all my friends, we are all in different clubs and activities but yet none of us are looked at as an outcast or as a loser.. we learned how to cope and you will too. but, mainly I chose this topic to be able to back up something I went through. SO JUST BE YOU!

Ten Things I Am Thankful For

1.) of course i am thankful for my parents. they are always here for me and they love m eso much and they are the people i need most in the world

2.) i am thankful for my brother and his girlfriend because even though they are the most annoying couple in the world, they are always there when i need a ride or, especially nicole, when i need to figure out something to do in the teen age area. nicole has become one of my go to people and darren is just the intimidating older brother that gives me advice

3.) im thankful that my grandfather is still going. i had to use a picture from the beginning of the year because he lost too much weight and he isnt doing good, but i wanted to show i was thankful for him. he has grown ever so close to me and im thankful that he still has life coursing through him even as dementia is trying to annihilate it. 

4.) i'm thankful for jaime because who else in the world would lay on the couch with me on friday nights and complain about how confusing guys are or who else will laugh when i try burping out my name. she is literally my one of my best friends along with other people on this list and i love her so much.  

5.) of course julie has to end up on this list... i mean she is literally like my adopted sister.. i honestly dont think i could live with out her. she knows everything about me and i need her just as much as she needs me, especially it seems at 2 oclock in the morning half the time. she literally is my best friend and i love her.

 6.) im thankful for the food that is in my pantry. without food, i would not e able to survive and i would most likely starve to death.

 7.) I am thankful for my house, because with out it i would be living in a box on the street somewhere which would not be a good thing. plus its my escape when reality becomes over whelming.

8.) i am thankful for my three dogs because in the times when i feel like nothing is going right they always add happiness to my life and make me smile even through the tears. they dont harm anyone and they are lttle whit fluffy balls :)

 9.) another thing i thankful for is just life. without life, i would not be able to write and take pictures of my everything i am thankful for, so i came to the conclusion that it needed to be mentioned here.

Real life magazine

"Magazine Cover Comparison"

Above are two  magazine covers that I liked that are from two different time periods (bottom from 1930s, and to from 2012.) As you can see, the magazine covers are highly different in some retrospects and similar in others. The first major difference that my eye sees is the types of fonts and how they are used in the picture. In the top picture, fonts and text are used all over the places; whereas in the second one there is one line of text, which is the title. The next difference is what the magazine is actually out there for. the bottom image as you can see is for the vanity fair, and the top image is for food. they are just two differences i see right from the bat.
