A digital substrate is something that photographers use when they don't want to print on regular paper, so they print on something that makes the picture look like art. They could print on water color paper, or they could even print on glass or silk. And some directions that this project could go, is that you could use metal, glass, or even cloth to make cloths. Some new things that I learned was that you could actually print on glass, which I did not even know was possible. And I learned that even the simplest of a picture could turn into something amazing if you make it into something that looks like art. Another thing that I learned was how many different ways you could go with this project. The artist that I liked the most was Joan Mumbauer. Because I like her ideas and how she made those amazing photos into amazing pieces of art. Joan Mumbauer was just one of the people that one of the links went to, but I had never heard of her so that kind of made it more interesting to she what her art looked like. I think that I will be a lot more creative of how and where I am going to take my pictures so that they are not going to be all at school. One place that is really special to me is the US Cellular Arena in Milwaukee because one of my favorite soccer teams play there and they are the ones that really helped me improve in soccer and able to make the soccer team last year. I hope to show that mood of motion and suspense. I am still not sure what technique I am going to use for this project because I am going to see how my pictures turn out and I am going to do a bit more research. I am thinking about doing either printing my picture on water color paper and then I would emphesize the pictures with water color pencils. Another technique I am thinking about doing is, making or using a book and put a lot of pictures into the book.
