Layering Assignment

For this image, I compiled pictures I have taken in past assignments to create an extremely layered piece. I tried to use subjects that weren't directly related, but had some sort of connection. I used the dog because he was sitting on the rocks that are in the picture. I selected the pictures of the flowers and duplicated it to add some color to the image. I layered a picture of a vast landscape under a picture of trees in a forest under a picture of one individual tree with it's branches (on the sides). For the main subject I used a dramatic silhouette of my brother to create a focal point. To top it off, I added in a picture of my sister's eyes to add more interest into the very back layer. Finally I added a vignette to bring all of the assorted images together.

Color Challenge Collage

This collage is made out of images I took for our "Color Challenge" assignment. I chose orange because fall is here and I wanted to show it! There were many beautiful orange hues in the forest behind my house, so I had a lot to choose from. I ended up focusing in on a collection of orange flowers, and many many leaves. :)

Rotunda With Words

I created this image for a T-shirt to represent a conference at the University of Virginia. I used many words like "Cooperation" and " Economy" to create the full effect of not having any background. It took quite awhile, but the end product was worth it!

Letters in Nature

For this project, we had to go out into our yard or home and look for shapes in nature that looked like a letter. These shapes were to spell something that pertains to us, so I did my last name. The letters were a lot harder to find then you might think, especially a lower case "a"!
