For this project, I plan on using portraits of my relatives to portray the unique similarities and differences that emerge amongst generations over time. This image is exaggerating the generational gap between my father and brother. My project will be demonstrating appropriation, and how the use of pre-existing images can lead to successful story telling. I used cropping, alignment and filter adjustment techniques to form this piece, and enjoyed experimenting with these tools. I feel that this is a direction that I am confident to continue to head in over the course of these next few weeks.

For this project, I plan on portraying the hate Asian Americans receive especially during these hard times. I hope to add a little more creativeness to my work, I want to overexaggerate the hate Asians go through since its been normalized up till now, it still is. I am somewhat confident that I can make my work better and continue this theme for this project.

My project will be on stories that my friends and I have of being discriminated for being Asian. The sample image I included is of my friend and his story was about how a teacher had asked him if he spoke English. He was born and raised in America and as a child, he didn't understand what the question meant until he got older. I used the gradient tool in the background and cropped only his face with a mask on. I used yellow text that says "I speak English" throughout the whole photo and used the eraser tool to make it seem like it was behind him, to emphasize that he can speak English regardless of his race.

For this project, I wanted to capture raw photos throughout my city of Lowell and Boston, while trying to highlight the corruption that society intends to place upon people, environment, or communities surrounding me. The people and abnormalities that are brought to light as "normal" gives deeper thought to what my whole project will be about. This experiment with this first photo is just a door opening for more inspiration. This photo in my view convey the classism and how its affects can physically and mentally wither away human lives and that it can actually kill. I liked this style of editing wear I insert selected images that I have cropped out from other photos and placing them in a purposeful fashion, inspired by Shusaku Takaoka.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm portraying the hate against Asian Americans in this project by using some pictures of my friends and pre-existing pictures to style it similarly to Shepard Fairy and other artists that has a unique way of portraying their ideas. For this photo, I used the editing skill of Shepard Fairy, the video on text in Photopea, and the video of outlining images. What I'm portraying here is some common remarks that Asian American receive in their daily lives.

In this photo i used an old photo
of my family and i try to connect it.
I Trying To connect the photo because  i was't therein that moment,  and now i'm here and
can't take another picture of them.

For this project I’m planning on my editing skills and doing on my imagination dreams. My dreams is I want to do something as high as possible and recreate it to new next level. I know everyone dreams might be different from others but if you dreams as high as same like me and I will put that pieces into a empty white paper I will recreate it by step by step. I will make my dreams come true by put everything into one piece of a picture.

For this mini project I was playing around with tools or skills I might use for the actual project. My concept is of memories and how certain old art remind me of these fond memories. I also played around with duo tones to see what colors remind me of that specific moment. Overall it's about how random or certain things remind of things close to us or just nostalgia. Like how a smell can remind us of a certain place. I'm not certain that all my photos will be in this style, this was more of experimentation.

I chose this photo because i want to discuss the amount of food we waste each day.

The concept that I want to convey for this project is the issue of marine pollution. I want to convey how pollution can be harmful to the ocean. I plan on using my fishes and objects like plastic to help convey this issue. I like the editing approach that I used in this sample piece. For example, I used many techniques like text, drop shadow, outer glow (outline), opacity changes, and blending. The editing techniques that I used makes the sample piece look better overall. For example, the outline makes the text and objects stand out more.

so for this project, so what i put for the project is i drawn the cambodia temple and also i drawn myself in the drawing. because i wanted to show everybody that i was born in a different place when i was little then i move to lowell and grown up in lowell. and i know that i had to move and leave my family be hide but when i got here everything is going to be great because i got to leaden about everything about lowell. then all the year i live in lowell i started really liking thing that make me happy and sad between leaving my family and to see my every ever week and that why i draw all of that for this project.

I wanted to appropriate the famous magazine vogue. I’m so into fashion and look up to vogue, gucci, YSL, and more. The editing tools I used was text and I used different apps to get with my photo, I brightened the photo on the iPhone editing function, and I used a different app to make the photo more crisp like it was taken from a legit camera.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept for this project is about women power, from all the things that I care about; the feminist movement has been one I haven't really touched and I think this will be the project I will use to really show female empowerment, I will use the text tool, gradient, and the application color replacement, even though I liked this edit I want to try something new, I will use the gradient tool to represent emotions and the text tool to put what has to be said.

# data[].attributes.body
What I wanted to convey is sexism and how woman have to fight for their rights everyday. In the black in white photo there are woman at a woman's rights protest demanding their rights. In the photo above is a photo of my cousins and siblings. I brightened it to show how even though their are daily struggles for woman we are still strong.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I want to portray the negative effects of social media. The part where people mention, but never really go depth in. Many are taught cyber bullying without the details and how it is bad, but not how it effects the person.The image shows a woman in a fetal position with her face covered like she is in pain. The text surrounding her are actual comments I found on social media, along with the platforms I found them from. I used removing the background, clipping mask and text to achieve this. I like this approach and I might continue with this editing style and combining my own images with this.

# data[].attributes.body
My concept was inspired after going on social media. As of right now many opinions have been released and people of the Black and Asian community are arguing against each other. Seeing this confused me because I believed that as people of color that the Blacks and Asians were on the same side. Both sides have dealt with decades of discrimination. Fighting amongst each other isn't going to solve anything nor is it going to help reach the goal of equality that both communities want.
In my picture used the Text technique and Quick selection. A combination of an African Queen and Asian Queen and text saying "We all Bleed the same".
Through this I hope to bring attention to both communities equally and portray the fact that both communities should fight Together for that goal.

For this project, I plan to make a collage of picture similar to Andy Warhol’s work of Marilyn Monroe based on the color scheme he chose. I will be using photopea to edit the photos by making a duo tone edits. I want to emphasize how much have changed since the beginning of quarantine last year to now. Additionally, how the pandemic had an effect on everyone. The image I took will be turned into a message that will lead the audience to analyze the objects and expressions within the photo. I wanted this to be a modern and powerful lesson/message for the future generations that will be learning about our experiences.

In this photo I was a kid and times were much simpler than now. I didn't have to worry about so many things then. I wish I could go back. So appreciate and cherish your childhood before you grow up.

# data[].attributes.body
for this project i planed to do a emotional connection with son and father, the father died 2 years ago and the son looks at the sky and talk to him sometimes i tried to put two images together and used husaturation.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project im gonna do something similar to this but use my own photos.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to do the hate against African Americans/blacks , as a daughter of a person who could not go to a school with white children because the color of his skin. It angers me because this has been going on for forever hate crimes against blacks.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept I wanted to explore was using regular objects that have been part of my childhood and things that represent the culture I grew up in as a way of portraying who I am and where I am from. I decided to start with the Goya Adobo bottle as its a staple of hispanic culture. I then decided to use the vectorize bitmap tool to distort the image and make it more painting like. I tried to mirror what Andy Warhol did with the Campbell soup but using something that was predominantly used by Hispanic culture.

# data[].attributes.body
for this project i planned on using editing. something i see that's wrong with this world is people taking advantage of  others to make it more relatable and known i choose to use jonny depp. jonny depp was  accused by hid ex wife amanda heard for being a wife beater, and abusive. as things went on he was proven not guilty and amandas accusations were false and lies. its wrong that people get taken advantage of and people try to ruin their careers/life because they have money because of their race skin color ect....

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I'm planning on focusing on things from when I was a kid. For example, this photo is about a memory me and my friend have about when she slept over one night and we were convinced that aliens were outside my house. I remember playing with those dolls earlier that same night. These two things contrast each other because you have the fun, normal thing kids would do paired with this creepy incident that we always look back on and wonder about. I may change the kind of editing I do for the final.

# data[].attributes.body
I concept I am conveying is like fairy tale vs reality and here I cut my friends out and put them in a new background and I added some texts and played around with the gradient tool and the inner shadow and outer glow. I really like the editing I did with this photo.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I want to connect two different things that don't really mach and see how I can change and make somethings new, also show how connexion can be build without be together.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll be making a series of posters about how chaotic the world we're living in is. I'm trying to make is as chaotic as possible but still remains the simplicity in each posters. This sample is an example of what i'm trying to convey. The two figures in this photo is what I believe the ignorance of our society to current situations.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I want to show how the facial structure through generation are still the same, in this case I used my mother and sister and put their faces side to side. Although they look slightly different, they still have very similar facial structure.

# data[].attributes.body
i want to express how black and white can make anything into art as long as you can perfect it

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I'll want to use Shepard Fairey's style for my project, but I think using text could be helpful towards making my ideas clear. I took Mickey Mouse, a beloved character and used the word "dream" to represent the power Disney as a brand has over the world. I feel perhaps warping what people are familiar with, or have positive connotations with, and altering them can make them think differently about that subject as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I wanted to take more of an editing approach and I really like the direction I went with this. I want to convey the issue of recent uprising asian hate crimes as this is something I am really passionate about. I used the stencil tool to draw attention from the viewer and added text. The repeating words of "chink" represent a common racial slur used against asians and I wanted to implement that along with the middle text. I played with drop shadow, font, and outer glow.

# data[].attributes.body
For the project I want to portray all the bad covered from most of the beauty in lowell. For years on end now, the people of Lowell have been neglecting the city with things like trash and vandalism of old historic buildings. I think Lowell can be such more than just dusty old mills if we just maybe clean them up and clean up the city so we can maybe have tourist around the same age group instead of having older people who are only interested, Lowell should be a place all ages should visit!

# data[].attributes.body
For the project I want to take any people, edit them, and add a quote of them, eliminating the background, making Duotone, outlining the image and create a great result of editing, making it look cool and original, as the example I used "Tony Stark" with his famous quote of who he is without the "suit".

# data[].attributes.body
I want to appropriate the cherished memories I've made with my family and I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with the editing approach because I feel I could've done a lot more. I might plan on going another direction for the appropriation project but I'll see what I'm able to do before I make that decision.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I want to portray the longing my grandparents have for Puerto Rico. I hope to make everything look less choppy and have more togetherness in the photo. I am going to continue that route and hopefully perfect it. I think this picture would look better without the flowers in it.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I am focusing on the new realities that we have to live in during and quite possibly after the pandemic. I am using shadowing, fading, brightness and text to create positive, silver lining message, while attempting to urge people to follow safety guidelines.

# data[].attributes.body
for this project , I plan on portraying bboy or breakdancing by taking photographs of me and adding text or maybe even color to give it a pop.

5 MINI PROJECT 6_ Sample Appropriation Project (Apr 13, 2021 at 9_08 AM)

# data[].attributes.body
In this project I want to use portraits of friends and family. I want to do a fashion type of shoot with bold words. I really like Shepard Fairly's type of work but I don't want to over use it. I'm gonna do three types of editing for this project. In the end I hope to have very bold photos that give off the audacity.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project, I plan on using photos of my sister and my friends to emphasize the natural hair movement. I want to stress that all hair is beautiful and convey the importance of embracing cultured and unique hair types. I will also be using duotone and text to add to my message.

# data[].attributes.body
For this project I would like to experiment with some different colors and letter .Also, Its a way that get to expressed my personality.

# data[].attributes.body

In Today’s project of Appropriation, I plans on portraying the feelings of  the pressure,thoughts and future life decisions all into one photo. By doing this, I got this image from the internet that’s kinda describe this whole concept that i’m trying to do with. I just took a few photo that’s describe the careers I wants to do from Google, then I added them in the background, next I just adding a bunch of texts of  thoughts/questioning myself and things I’ve received  from other. Luckily, I tried to blurred out the texts because it might look little dramatic and I think that it kind fit the script.
