I would honestly give myself a D for my grade. One of the things that I said was that I;m going to complete all the work if I missed and I haven't been doing good with that. Another thing that I said was that I was going to take time with my work and have more compelling images and I really don't think that I've done that either. I think that my participation is good and I do my projects and ask questions but I still know that I can do better and I haven't and I really need to start trying more. I am unable to get my old post on here, but I know that I haven't exactly followed what I wanted to do. I am a little disappointed in myself because I know that I haven't tried as hard as I wanted to and I need to start.

Dear Sydney, Being a photographer is hard work. To become better make sure that you take your time with pictures you are wanting to take. Make sure that you are taking multiple photos of many things you are wanting to make sure you have the right one. Using depth can help make a picture look better or to have a focus point. This is one of my best photos for right now. I think its a good photo because theres a focus point and I think i took the photo well for that look. While editing this photo I would've reduced the color a little bit so it wasn't too green and vibrant.

     I think that tax dollars should be spent on art, music or theater classes because there are so many kids that enjoy doing these things. Some kids are just not meant for school then they fall in love with it because it gives them something to do. Kids have the choice to be creative and are able to use that in the real world.      Kids in school who join art programs/classes meet new people and enjoy hanging out with people that are like them and enjoy art together. Some kids want to go to art schools and have art in their career and they learn a lot of things through these classes. Tax dollars should be spent on art classes, etc. just like so much money is spent on sports and half of the kids don't even play that sport in college.

I think one photographer took all of these photos. I think they took about 35-40 photos used for that project. I think some of the photos were taken when the sun was setting. I don't think they photoshopped anything I think they just made the picture grainy and it had action it it to where you can see that the car was moving in the photo a little bit as well as the people.

1) The moods of the models and their postures are almost as if they give up or almost look like stressed and have a lot of stuff on their mind. 2) The technique I think they used was maybe oil paint. A lot of the spots look like the color went a long way and is used very wisely. 3) I think the color i the image plays a good role and is more like a stressed color almost and it really brings out the picture. 4)I think the artist was trying to show stress and feeling heavy like theres a bunch of stuff on your shoulders sometimes. I think they made a outstanding effort if the pictures were supposed to be looking stressed almost.
