Color Wheel 1


For this project i used my own images but the stencil i got online. I made many layers and then used the  stencil and cut out part of my own images. I used a surfer, beach bucket and spade, Patrick the starfish from Spongebob and a palm tree as stencils. I enjoyed making this project because it made a lot of sense to me and it was fun to create. I put borders on some of the stencils. For the back ground i used the gradient tool and the color was blue and yellow which i did not like so i used photo filter on the background.

The 49 States

Matthew Jensen  (American, born 1980)


This image is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I liked this project cause is doesn't seem like what the project is displaying, the 49 states. He also did't travel around America to take these images, he used Google street view and edited the images and displayed it on a plain white wall and all the images have land and road. These pictures also do not look like they are from different states. The images all look similar but very different. To me this is a really beautiful, fun and inspiring project that he changed and displayed it in his own way.
