 *  Answer the following: **

What is a digital substrate and how do digital photographers use them? A surface other than traditional printer paper. Photographers use them for different backgrounds for their photos.

 What are the 3 directions that this project could take? (hint there are 3 kinds of processes used to do this sort of work, what are they?) A book made of different photos with experimental substrates and other things. Another direction is a collage of different pictures and other artistic things like paint or sewing. The last direction is a more creative piece that you can print on like clothing or something. Digital printing processes, altered art, and image transfer are processes of the work.

 Explain 3 new things you learned through this research about how to print and take photographs. You use this thing to paint on a substrate to make it print easier, drawing and painting on the photographs is a way you can make your project look more interesting, and the artist John Paul Caponigro.

Which of the artists' works did you admire most and why? John Paul Caponigro, because his photographs look kind of simple, but they are really inspiring and moving and really amazing.

Did you discover someone not mentioned? No.

How will this effect your work as an artist? I will be more open to untraditional photography.

 What places are you thinking about creating a portrait of and why? My Grandparents house because I spent so much of my childhood there, or the "downtown" area of Pewaukee because I spend so much time there with my friends and there have been many good times there.

What mood do you hope to evoke through your photographs of this place? Happy memories.

 Which of the three techniques do you plan to use for your project? A collage.

What non-digital art techniques will you use? (drawing, painting, art metals, printmaking, sculpture, sewing, hand-made books, altered book etc) Probably painting, drawing, printmaking, and I'm probably going to add things from the outdoors like flowers or grass.

*First picture*: All of my pictures are by John Paul Capenigro, because I really love what he does with his pictures to make them so believable. However, for the first one, I love how simple it looks but how dramatic and beautiful it really is. Also, I love how you look at it at first and think that it's real, but then you take a second look and you realize that it can't be because of the clouds in the sky. *Second picture*: This picture is so pretty, and the reflection of the sky off of the water is really cool. It also has that photoshoped flash of light in the middle which looks incredibly real but it obviously isn't. It's amazing how he can put things that are obviously not originally in the picture, but you start to believe that it really is there. *Third picture*: This picture almost looks like it's in a video game or something, but you know that it's a photograph. It's almost the opposite of the first two pictures where you sort of think that it's real, and in this one you can barely believe that it came from an original picture that he took. g
