Popart Image :)

What is the main idea you were trying to express in your project? What were your intentions?
I just wanted to express how I love bright flashy colors and that bright things tend to make people feel a lot happier about who they are and about their life.
What methods did you use to develop your ideas? For example, did you brainstorm, create a concept map, research, improvise, try different materials or techniques, etc?
I watched the tutorial and then just went crazy and had fun.
Did you take risks by trying something new? Explain.
I took a risk by trying out GIMP haha I have never used it till now.
What were some of the unexpected problems that you had to solve while you were working?
I goofed up doing the blending of layers a few times but finally got it right and all figured out.
What decisions and choices did you make to help solve these problems?
I just kept on going back to the tutorial till I got it figured out.
What was the most interesting or challenging think about what you did?
I found it challenging to get the colors to fallow the lines just right and to make sure that the black outlines weren’t too light or too dark.
What have you learned from this particular project?
That GIMP has a lot of different things that can be done to it.
What did you do outside of class to enrich the project?
I browsed different pages of pop art and different pages of jack skellington outfits.
If you were to experience this project again what would you change or do differently?
I would choose a more difficult image so that I can add a lot more colors.
Describe a new project/activity that might grow out of the one in which you just participated?
Maybe a painting of pop art, it would be a very good challenge to get it to look just right.

  1. Can you send me your GIMP file for this? It should have the extension .xcf

  2. I would never have guessed that the original picture of this dress was black and white. You did a great job of incorporating the dots only on the dress and leaving the background a solid color.
