     My strongest technical aspect with this project was my ability to get a good picture with the camera. I had some troubles along the way but I was able to get through them.  My weakest technical aspect was lining up the image. On some of my papers, I put the image off center.
     The easiest part of this project was changing the amount of light that would be shown. This was easy because all I had to do was change the knob until the right light is there. The hardest part of this was to get the right time and amount of light so the image would show It took a few times to do so, but I was finally able to get it.
     I was able to demonstrate the objective of the project. The objective was to get an image to show up on the sheet. I was able to do this after multiple tries. If I was able to do this project again, I would try to get my image on the sheet in less tries. In conclusion, this is how I was able to get my images to show on the sheet.

     My strongest technical aspect of the Photogram project was my grey colors. This is my strongest aspect because I was ably to include grey colors in all of the photograms. My weakest technical aspect was my placing of my paper and objects. In some of my photograms, I had my border going at a diagonal angle.
     The easiest part of this project was making my pictures using the objects. Another easy part about this project was setting up the enlargers. This was easy because I had to focus the light and just had to change the brightness. The brightness was on f11. The final part that was easy was setting up the time. The time for the landscape and the symmetrical was 4 seconds. The time for the magazine was 10 seconds, I did the magazine before you said to cut out a shape and place object on it.  The difficult part was the chemicals. This was hard because I had to keep different times.
     I was able to demonstrate the objective of the project. The objective was to get different values of grey, white, and black. I had different shades of colors in my project, as you can see in the picture above.  If I was able to do this project again, I would probably switch up the objects I used. I would also go back and redo my magazine and cut it out and put objects on it. In conclusion, this is what I did during this photogram project.

     My strongest technical aspect is my Polaroids. I feel this way because it looks like they are overlapping each other and they look scattered, like on a table. I could've improved on some of the Polaroids, I feel this way because some of them can't really be seen.
 The easy part about this project was finding a picture. I found this easy because I already had an idea about who I wanted to do. The hard part was getting rid of the original background. I found this hard because it took a lot of work and I had to keep changing the size of the eraser.
     I demonstrated the project of making a photo look like it is many pictures scattered. I also have the ball, in the air, look like it is leaving the picture. I also was able to do this to his hands and arm. If I was to do this activity again, I would probably change the athlete up. In conclusion, this was the Polaroid PhotoShop project.

     During this PhotoShop project I learned how to remove freckles from a face. I also learned to to whiten eyes and teeth, but no teeth are showing in this picture. I also cleaned up the skin by darkening it.
     My strongest technical aspect of this project was cleaning up the skin on the face. I got rid of all of the freckles and whitened the eyes. My aspect that could be improved is to make the eyes be a smoother shape, instead of a sharp one.  I feel removing the freckles was the easiest part of this project. I only had to click over a freckle to get rid of it. The hardest part was shaping the eyes. This was hard because I had to use the Lasso tool and the shape turned out to be really sharper than I would've wanted. If I could do this project again I would have taken a little more time on the eyes so they wouldn't be sharp.
     In conclusion, this is how I removed freckles from a face in PhotoShop. I also whitened the eyes and I changed the skin color a little bit.  I made the face a little skinner to work and i thought it looks really goo skinnier.

     During this other PhotoShop project I desaturated a photo and added color to one object. The object in this project was the pine tree bush.  I had fun with this fun and simple project.  This project went by very quickly. I had a few strong and weak technical aspects of this project.  There were many easy things about this project and very few hard things.  Finally, there are a few different ways this project could've been done.

     My strongest technical aspect of this project would probably be coloring the pine tree bush in. I  feel this was my strongest aspect because I colored the bush in, staying in the shape.  I don't think there was anything that could've gotten improvement.  This whole project was easy, the only hard part of this project staying in the bush's shape. If I was able to do this again I would probably color in a different object, possibly the wall or the wood chips.

     In conclusion, this was my Desaturation project. I told my strong and weak aspects of this project. I also stated how this project could be done differently.  I could have done the wall or ground, like I stated before. Finally, I stated what was the easy and hard parts of the projects.

     During this PhotoShop project, I had many ups and downs. I had a few strong aspects and a few I could've improved on.  There were also easy parts of this project, but with every project there are some hard parts. Finally, there were many ways of how I could've done this project many different ways.

     I feel my strongest technical aspect was my painting. I feel this way because most of the time I was able to stay inside of the lines. I could've outlined my laces first, instead of painting them first. I feel this would've been easier instead of trying to find where the knots were. After that, all I would've had to d is just fill in the laces. An easy part about this project was choosing what picture to paint over. This was easy because I already had an idea about what I wanted to do. This idea was to paint my shoes and transform them into a Red Sox color, since I am a fan of them. There were a few difficult parts about this project. A difficult part was to outline my laces, another one was adding the leaves on the shoe. These were hard because I didn't know where the laces started and ending, the leaves were hard because the changed size every time, this added a cool effect though. Finally, I could've done this project in a few different ways.  I could've outlined the laces, like I've said a few times already, I could've painted different sections first, or I could've done a different design instead of the leaves and colors.

     In conclusion,  this was the Artist Reflection for the PhotoShop project. These were my strongest parts, parts I could've improved. Also, I stated what the easy and hard parts of this project was. Finally, I said how I could've done this project differently.
