Unified Imaginary Landscape #3

Artist Reflection:
            In my unified imaginary landscape, I experimented with foreground, middle ground, and background. The strongest technical aspect of my work is my mountain I inserted. I inserted my mountain using the masking tool. I used the masking tool to put the mountain behind parts of my background. A technical aspect of my work that I could improve on is the amount of objects I inserted in my landscape. For example, I could have added more shrubs, animals, or trees.  Therefore, my landscape contains both strong aspects and aspects I can improve on.
            This art assignment had both difficult and easy aspects. The easiest part of this activity was using the magic wand. I used the magic wand to make the background from the original eagle image disappear. The magic wand is easy to use because all you do is click anywhere in the background and it automatically selects the object and it deletes the background. The most difficult part of this activity is the cropping of animals with the lasso tool. The lasso tool was very time consuming and was difficult to crop perfectly. However, after a long, slow process, the lasso tool eventually crops the object out.
             The objective of this activity is using foreground, middle ground, and background. In my landscape I used all of the above. The foreground is filled with objects that appear closest to you like the deer. In my middle ground I have a moose, canoe, and an eagle, all found in different areas of the landscape. In my background, for example, you will find a mountain. If I were to do this assignment again, I would change the sky in my background to something more exciting. For example, I could add a sunset or a cloudy/foggy sky. In conclusion, in my unified imaginary landscape, I experimented with foreground, middle ground, and background.
