Reflection

I had a great time and learned a lot in Media Arts 1. I learned how to use Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Flash. One part of the class that I really liked was taking a picture and changing the look of it using Photoshop. The hardest part of the class for me was black and white photography. I thought it was tough because most of my pictures were really dark when I developed them. I also liked the Imovie assignment because it was cool to see all of the things that I created throughout the quarter.

Q1:The optical element is the lens, the chemical element is the film and the mechanical element is the camera.
Q2: An SLR camera stands for single-lens reflex. A SLR camera lets the photographer see the same picture that is exposed to the film. On this type of camera everything is adjusted by turning dials and clicking buttons.
Q3: The purpose of a camera's aperture is to be able to increase and decrease the amount of light passing through the lens.
Q4: The shutter speed on the camera controls how long the film is exposed.
Q5: the three things you need to get the right exposure for a picture are balance film speed, aperture size and shutter speed to fit the light level in the shot.
Q6: If you take pictures outside on a sunny day you would use a high film speed so there would be less time for light to get in.
Q7: 1.The first step is to place the film in a developing agent that is actually a reducing agent. 2.Then complete the developing process by rinsing the film with water or a "stop" bath.
3.then put the film in a fixing bath to remove the unexposed silver- halide crystals.
4. Then wash with water to remove chemicals.

Lab Color

The disco ball show pattern and rhythm. It shows pattern because it projects squares all over the walls when the light is on it. It also shows rhythm because the squares feel like they keep moving as the light moves on the disco ball.

This painting shows contrast because of the different parts of the picture. On the left there are small skinning lines. Then there is a rectangle of gray. Finally on the right there are bold and bright squares. Then on top there is a big black branch. There are many parts of the picture that contrast each other.

This painting shows emphasis because your eyes go straight to the pears. Also The rest of the painting is very soft so that is why the emphases goes to the pears.

This painting shows balance because the vases complement each other. It also feels balanced because there is stuff going on in the whole picture, not in just one area.

this painting shows variety using different textures. In the picture the apple is really bright and appears to be smoother. The water in this picture looks wavy and seems that it would feel bumpy.

This image shows unity because all of the trees are standing together. At the top of the painting it looks like the trees blend together. To me that is unity because they come together and look as one.

This shows movement because when you look at the picture it makes you feel like you are moving. Another way is when you look at the picture at the top the parts of the picture are smaller to make it feel like the picture goes on forever.

The marbles represent form because they are 3D and you are able to see the form of the shape. Also the reflection of the marbles help visualize the 3D effect.

This drawing represents value because of the shading that is used. the shading gives emphasis in some of the parts in the drawing. For example the background is dark so the main part of the picture pops out.

This sculpture shows space because there is open area in it. The space that is in it gives it depth and makes it look like it is floating.

This shows the element of shape. the photo is made up of diffentent shapes layered on top of eachother.

This show the element of color because it has a lot of different colors in it. Also the colors flow and complement each other.

This picture shows the element of line because the whole picture is made up of different lines coming together. It is also very fluid and looks never ending like a line.

This is a picture of bark on a cottonwood tree. This shows texture because there is positive and negative space in the picture. Another way it shows texture is that you can see grooves in the bark.
