Learning Success Week 8

This week we went out to look around for any objects that can make the form of a letter or find letters laying around to create our name or initials. We went out in groups and so i went with Grace outside to the car park, the halls and the library to look for any letters in our names. I decided to make it more of a challenge by doing my whole name instead of just doing my initials. Another way that i made this activity more of a challenge was by looking for objects that formed the letters i needed, abstract art is what you could call it.
This is the monogram that i made of the photos i took yesterday. I pasted the pictures in the same order as my name, Samantha. 

This is a collage i made on photoshop that combines all the pictures i took that creates both my first and last name, Samantha Sailiata. I actually found this assignment to be my favorite one because of the fact that it makes you look at the common objects of the world closely to see what else they can form. Another reason why i found this assignment to be my favorite is because i love photography just as much as i love drawing and being able to use photography in our assignment made it interesting especially using Photoshop to enhance most of the pictures i took.

I actually learned a lot through out this term from both Learning Success and Drawing From Nature. Not only was it a good opportunity to meet new people but it was also a great opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things. The main learning experience that i found the most interesting through this course would have to be Photoshop. I never used Photoshop before until i started this course and come to find out i am actually good at working with it. I think the main reason why i found Photoshop interesting the most is because of the fact that we got to use the computer for these assignments. when i first started thinking about what i wanted to be career wise i thought about becoming a computer technician because i get into building things more then drawing them. Also because i like learning and trying new things and with computers and the technology of the world it changes everyday meaning you have to learn something new everyday.
