In our GCSE class we did an exchange with an art class in Denmark, they sent pictures of them as children or of them now and we did the same back. Our project was to take one of their pictures and change it, through editing software on the computer or by editing it our selves by using paint or something else etc.
Above is both versions of the picture, one being the original and the other being my edit of it.
On the left is the person that I chose. I edited her picture by cutting her eyes, nose and lips off and placing them on a piece of paper, and then I cut her hair and stuck that above the eyes, nose and mouth and then I did the same with her body. By just doing this it made the picture look very different to what it did before. The version I did looks quite creepy. I struggled to really think of what to do to the original picture, i wasn't sure what would work and what wouldn't. Originally I was going to paint the picture with colours, to make the picture look coloured rather then black and white, but I thought about it, and wasn't sure about that idea. Considering I am not the best painter and knowing me, it would of gone terribly wrong.
But I then thought about more ideas and this one came to mind. It wasn't a really difficult thing to do, but I thought it was a good idea because it wasn't normal. I am really happy with the way it turned out even though I only took away the shape of her face etc it makes the picture look really different. When I thought about the idea I always imagined it on a yellow piece of paper, I'm not sure why but it almost makes it look like a weird simpson character.
I find my version quite funny too as it looks so ab-normal.
Above is my picture and then the edit someone did to it.
I really like what the person did to my picture, you can tell its me but they have made it really colourful and bright and it looks really cool and makes my picture look less boring.
I also like how they have used a range of different materials to change my picture, like the buttons and the paint etc.
I think it looks really fun and bold and i think because of the colours the person has used it makes the picture really stand out and eye catching. It also has a lot of detail to it which makes it really good too because there's a lot to look at. The first thing my eyes get drawn too when I look at the picture is the flower on my eye, I'm not sure why I look straight at that, maybe it's because it's the biggest bright decoration on the page and its almost in the center of the page.
