B4+TEXTURE+Cieszki





1. Cropped the base picture so all there would be was the tree and all things around it. 2. Using the lasso tool, I cut the school and upper sky from the tree. 3. Cut the sky from the second photo and placed it into the first. I then "sent it to the back." 4. Cut the tree's outline from the photograph. 5. Decided on what quadrant of the tree bark I wanted form the first photograph, and cut it from the picture. 6. Put the tree bark into the picture and "sent it to the back." 7. Added in a layer 8. Colored the grass a medium gray color. 9. Changed the layer to "lighten" 10. Edited opacity of the layer to 45%

I feel that with this first piece of our photograph class was a success. I met the requirement of texture by combining three pieces and using design elements. The main element of design, and the most obvious, is shape. I used the shape to the fullest extent, first by cutting around it to change the sky, then cutting it out to put in a texture. Also, another main one in this piece is color. I edited the color in all of the components. I darken the tree bark, and lightened the grass along with the sky. By editing the color I emphasized the texture in the tree bark and the grass. For compositional techniques, I feel that I used space in a different way. Instead of white space, I toned down the colors surrounding the tree to give more emphasis to the texture and the colors in that.
