Title: Me,myself, and I
Medium: Photoshop Adobe pro Size: 61x91cm Exhibition Text: The inspiration of Andy Warhol from the creation of pop art, This photo shop had to use three different photos three times and apply random colors to create the pop art form. I would develop three main different photos because it would reflect off the title also the photo-shop describe about me trusting myself and only myself. the background of his I use because it was where I would usually go after a long day of anything that comes to mind relieving the stress. The multiple pictures of me also represents that I'm usually everywhere doing everything to pull off all the hard work and to give my best in every effort that I put in my struggles. The color on each of myself represent a mix type of emotion and the dark color: red, blue, Dark green, and orange are the irritated or rage side of myself while the light colors: light green, baby blue, yellow, pink, and purple is the happy positive side that never goes away cause we have to keep positive influence towards many people. In the pop art Andy Warhol wanted the desire the famous people with the multiple faces with different types of color because he was inspired by the art throughout the years of art expansion. |

Art Inspiration |
Reflection |
In the piece "me, myself, and I" my artistic inspiration was Andy Warhol, "Marilyn". Andy created the painting with solid multiple colors also used the light bright colors to make the painting stand out to give it that pop of certain texture. In the creation of "the Marilyn" Andy describes the precision of each multiple face coloring and the boxes he had to put time and creativity so he showed me how make colors pop. Andy Warhol was my inspiration because the art he had created brought much attention during the pop art era and the way he would make art out of anyone or anything just with multiple pictures of the same thing with color that stands out. Andy made or created many art works and he learned that anything can be transformed into art and be inspired by color, objects, and shapes in many solid blended sizes. I was more inspired in Andy Warhol's work during the process of the photo collage because the work seems like a simple task and referring to his work of art that he might enjoy creating and felt proud of for the tons of work he put himself through to achieve so many things in his struggling life and to make his work stand out more he would have very famous well known people or objects that people use to see in there times. The meaning he puts in his work "The Marilyn" I wanted to put myself and have a lot more meaning on or which can be based on my life-style also mix things up about the colors then seeing how he chose those colors and what more detail and meaning in his work.

Photo-shopping a digital collage was a very difficult task to understand as a beginner because the experience of the use of the program but their was some examples and being told by an instructor but after one day you'll start to get the hang of it so just the beginning of the process was a hard part. Bring photos that you wanted to chose of your own but another difficult part of the process is finding an artist who you can reflect off your work because their are so many artist that you might not be a good example of a photo. When I reached to the progress of trying to crop out the photo of myself I had to sharp edges that can can only show me then having to paste all the photos together while doing the same progress repeatedly. I also included a background to make my collage show more detail in my story when I bring everything together. Finding the right color was another difficult part because you have to figure out what colors to use but theirs not a lot of multiple bright colors. At the end of the work you'll have the colors mixed and photos collage.

Behind The Meaning
The photo collage is multiple pictures of me because there was multiple problems I had during the past couple of years growing up and my struggles can happen anywhere especially at home which is where I get more problems. I didn’t get much things I needed to make my life more simple and easy but I found many opening to achieve where I am today but the people who surround me I can’t usually rely on by the backstabbing and betraying which I no longer tolerate so then I rather get things done on my own by being the lone wolf so distractions would be out of my sight. The reason I mostly trust myself because when I count on some of my family members or friends they would bring me problems to put me down even though I have many dark family problems while living a miserable life when my family is not there for me when I really needed them but the collage background was a place that i usually hang out by myself when I didn’t want to talk or see anyone. School was a key to get away from my problems with friends and favorite teachers that would always be there for me than my family but school wouldn’t last the whole day so I go back into my miserable life until another day. At home while living in my mom's house she was barely home even though she didn’t work at the time so i'm stuck taking care of my brothers and sister with low food then seeing my mom yell at me for doing a thing I barely do which was argue with my little brother, no drugs nor fights.With not a good childhood like people that surround me I had so much anger that was built holding inside me and when in came out I didn’t care about anything or anyone yelling back at my mom, punching a hole through the wall, and saying the words I never said before. After the whole argument I decide to trust only myself but getting kicked out of the house didn’t felt good so my dad took me in and took care of me when I went into depression for a week also my trust issues I couldn’t really rely on anyone because way further back in my childhood it was too dark to find away to put myself together so I talk to social workers and therapist to talk my problems away but the things I seen before are still the things i'll never forget and forgive. Trust is the hardest thing to my point of perspective because looking back and thinking of the memories while discussing it to my peers makes me want to show emotions and shedding a tear. When everything was over I decided to start fresh and let go of the problems that I was hanging on so long and now trust my close friends, teacher, and family once again loving one another with happiness.
