photoshop project

Eileen Neff

This weeks lecture was yet another one that was hard to follow. If the microphone worked better and actualy carried her voice accross the room, then it would be easyer to concentrate on what she was saying. She had a very interesting style, even though I did not particularly care for some of her work. I like how she displayed her art, because she thought of how they all looked as a whole not just as individual pieces. It is interesting how in some exhibits she even put all of her peieces together to make one larger piece of art. Most of her photography was interesting to look at, but others I could not understand as well. Such as, she used the same landscape for multiple pieces, and I did not find the landscape to be anything very interesting to look at. Overall she was a interesting artist and even though the presentation was not the most energetic and fun, her art was refreshing and creative.

I really enjoyed this lecture. It was refreshing how she was so animated and energetic, and the fact that we could actually HEAR what the speaker was saying for once was nice. Her glow in the dark work was genious, I would love to have one in my house. They are so unique and now I am inspired to use glow in the dark supplies as well. The animations I did not like as much though...they were very slow and felt like it needed something else, sound wouldnt have hurt. Maybe some of her husbands jazz or SOMETHING. Overall she was a very inspiring woman who was very passionate about her work and I enjoyed the speech.

my weekend

This weekend I went home to visit some of my old friends from my high school who are all on fall break right now. Why Temple does not believe in fall break, I will never know. I love going home as much as I can, so I enjoyed just hanging around the house with my friends and doing things we did back when we were in high school. It was very weird hearing all of my friends stories from their college experiences and noticing how some of them have changed already, both in good ways and in bad ways. I am lucky my friends all keep in touch so well, and I cant wait till the next time I can see them.

I love working with photoshop so much, it is and always has been one of my favorite things to do. The cleanness of the lines, the amount of things we can do with the tools, and most importantly the edit undo button make photoshop so much fun to fiddle around with. I have always just played around with the tools on my own so I love actually learning what some of the buttons I have never figured out are. I cant wait to see what assignments we get using photoshop next.
