this is my autoscopy. I wanted to go for a futuristic, trippy look for this project. I really enjoy how it turned out. To start I went on Pinterest to find inspiration, this is how I start a lot of my projects. I quickly realized that I wanted to include the moon and do something crazy with the sky.
When I found my inspiration photos I got to work by taking this photo of me on davis island and putting it in to photoshop. I then created layers to add in each icon like the butterflies, moon, planet, and smiley faces. Each icon got its on layer and I took away the background in the original photo of the icon. I then worked on the car background, I had to move the layers around and take away from the original photo to line it up correctly with the water.
The last thing I did was play with the saturation and hues of all the layers. I am so glad I did this because it really brought the whole thing together. There are a lot of meaningful things in this piece. I have always had such a special connection to butterflies after my boyfriend died so I made sure to put them in this project. I also put in 444 which are angel numbers. Angel numbers are also something really close to me, they are numbers you see over and over again and 444 specifically means that someone is watching over you from above. I see 444 close to everyday so I wanted to also include that.
I am really happy with how this turned out I loved playing around with all the different pictures and I think its really cool that the icons may not look like they mean much, but they mean a lot to me.
I thought this assignment was really, really nice and beautiful. I love how you put the one picture upside down and I REALLY love how you made the cars fly. You clearly put a lot of work and thought into this assignment and it looks really good. The coloring was also perfect and it all matched just well.
ReplyDeleteI love how creative this piece is. All the extras you added are very unique to yourself and I think that they go together really nicely along with the colors used. Like Melanie said above, I love you made the palm tree sunset picture hang upside down it looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteHey Carly, I really dig this piece of artwork you have! It's so dynamic and unique and I'm a huge fan of Angel numbers and things like that. I truly believe in the power of them and the messages they come along with. Great job on this project and way to bring relevance through your art.

This whole piece you put together is such a vibe. This looks very cool and the colors go well together. Each time I look at it, I see something new.
ReplyDeleteWow I'm obsessed with how this came out. Its very unique and creative. The colors and every image go together very nicely. I love each individual picture you choose. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite out of your projects on your blog. It looks super unique and different than others calligrams. I love how the palm tree are upside down and purple sky goes perfectly with the greenish blue water. I also like how you included the moon as another detail. One more thing is that I love the silhouette effect of your body looking as if you're on top of the world.
