"Next semester i will continue to improve when taking pictures. I hope to get more creative with my thinking and picture taking." B+ I would give myself a B plus because my pictures have become way more creative this semester than last semester. I know that they are creative because when we walk around the room to see everyone else's work, no one had the same idea as mine.

Dear my past self,           Being successful in the creative photography class requires a little bit of work. You must be able to produce creative yet original ideas in order to do well. For example when i did the Blue project, I did very well because i was creative. I dropped blue food coloring into a glass and took a picture with the sun shining through the glass causing a glow effect. The main reason it was successful was because I was patient and I was creative. Some tips I have found useful for taking photos are that having someone there with you because they could think of another idea. Sincerely, Future self

I strongly disagree with this statement. Tax dollars should be used on high school activities such as art, music and theater. Schools should use tax money to grow these programs because so many students will benefit from them. If we did not use tax dollars on these classes, many students will be forced to take part in something that they may not want to do. High school is not just about training people for the workforce. High school is quite far from that statement. If that were true, then high school would be teaching kids how to pay taxes and about house buying. However that is not what high school is about. Sure high school can teach students about a few of these things but its main purpose is for students to figure out who and what they want to be when they are older. By using tax money on these programs it will help so many students figure out who they want to be out of high school.

These pictures have sort of a stressful mood to them. When I look at them I see that the girl on the bottom looks stressed while the girl on the top looks more sad. These images looked like they were painted using oils or they were put into photoshop. Coloring does play a role because it allows us to see shadows which can affect the mood. I think the artist was trying to show how they are good at using oils to paint an image that looks like it is photoshopped.
