     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.
