For the month of January I completed the "Boundaries" assignment and I planned further for my concentration. When I first heard of the "Boundaries" project, I thought of a way in which I could combine the assignment with my concentration statement. By doing this, I solved the problem of not having started any concentration pieces, and I was able to create artwork. This project also pushed me to develop the skill of using Photoshop. I have had Photoshop on my computer for two years now, but I have never learned how to use it. By completing this project, I learned how to operate the application I never could. This project also required me to take some risks. I had never done anything like this before, and I was afraid I was not going to get it done by the deadline. Because of this, I decided to start another piece just in case I couldn't pull it off. I painted a light vs. dark dress piece lined with jewels and gems. I preferred my original idea much more, so I was very happy when I was able to get it done. I ended up editing two different photographs and now I just have to decide which one I like more. This project really kickstarted my concentration and I am excited to continue creating my own original art in the next few months.
