For this project, I decided I wanted to remix photos using photoshop. First I found a picture of myself to use. I decided to use this pic from when I was 4.

For the human spirograph, my boyfriend and I did the candlelit non alcoholic version of the project. Our results areContinue reading “Automatic Art Activity”

This week, we were tasked with dressing outside of our normal choices to see how people’s reactions and attitudes towards us would change.
