Shrine Down the Hall

 My portrait is a black, white and gray picture of my room. You see leopard prints on my walls, a soccer t-shirt on my bed that is in the middle of my room. On top of my bed is a cross. On the right side of my picture are a lot of frames I hand of pictures of me. There is also a computer, a desk and my chair on the left hand corner of my bed.
 My shrine has a pattern because of the prints on my wall. Everything is being contrasted. Nothing is emphasized. My piece has unity.
 My room represent me and my unique side. The message inmy shrine show how everyone can decorate their room to be creative and show their true personality. This is also a way for people to be nosey and see where I usally take my pictures on instagram or facebook.
 I do feel like my shrine looks successful because my room is cool and unique and organized.

Personal Collage


My personal collage contains a large photo of me as a kid. There is a picture of my little sister on the left hand side of me which looks like she is holding my hair. On the top left hand corner is my necklace that I recieved when I turned 15. On the bottom right hand corner is a picture of my graduation picture.
 There is no pattern, emphasis or contrast. I do believe my portrait has unity.
 My personal collage represents my childhood but also the important people in my life and my experiences. It represents my traditional values because it has my quincenera chain that is very important to me and marked the day I turned a lady. My collage symbolizes just part of my life up to now.
 If I were to judge this piece, I would give it a B because I wasn't able to add more picture into my collage. I could have done better but I did not have enough time.

My Own Reality

 My own reality is a picture of Edward Collins and me looking deep into eachother's eyes with passion and love. We cannot resist being together. In the background are swirls of the colors blue and green. My eyes are red because Edward transformed me into a vampire like him so we can be together forever.
 My portrait does not have a pattern. Nothing is being contrasted or emphasized. It has asymmetrical balance. There is unity between Edward and me.
 My piece means that him and I will soon be together forever. All the other girls need to back away because he is mine and he knows it as well. That is why Edward cannot stop staring into my eyes. The swirls in the background symbolize that we are in our own little world together and no one can interfere.
 I do feel successful with my portrait becuase I made my dream into something everyone can see and girls envy. I will post this all over the internet until Edward sees that we were meant to be.

Makeup Clown

My ad is a advertisement about makeup for all girls. Unlike the usual ads that girls would see on magazines, my ad says how too much makeup can literally make you look like a clown. My ad is the face of a women who looks like a clown with a red nose, over-drawn red lips, big pink bluch, and too much eyeshadow.
 There is a alot of emphasis on the red nose of the woman.My ad has symmetrical balance because its her full face.
 The message of my ad is that many woman, even those at a young age, are wearing too much makeup and using it as a mask to hide their true identity and beauty. Thus, it makes them look like a clown. Now a days, girls are taught at a very young age that beauty is everything, makeup is "fun" and it makes you look pretty, such as those models in the magazines, music videos, etc.
 I do feel successful about my ad because it is obvious to the audience what my message and my intention is.

Dream Scene

 My photo is a picture of me about to faint at the beach in San Francisco when all of a sudden Shia and Jacob are running towards to save my life and give me mouth-to-mouth.
 My picture does not have a patter or contrast. I feel that because I am in the middle I am being emphasized. My piece is asymmetrical. The setting makes my picture romantic.
 My dream means the unrealistic hope that I want to achieve one day. My message through my photograh is that anything can happen in your mind as long as you don't give up or your creativity.

My Own Surreal Reality

 My surreal self portrait is a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge that I took with my camera, my sister when she graduated pre-school and me.
 My self portrait has repetition because many cupcakes cover the sky. Nothing is being contrasted. I am being emphasized. My portrait has asymmetrical balance because it has unequal sides when you divide it in two.
 My portrait means to me that I love my city and my baby sister because I am a true native and I love my family. The colors contribute to the cupcakes transparent. The different lights and colors say that I am a bright person. There is no symbolism.
 I feel that I somewhat accomplished my goal for the self portrait but I could have done better. Hopefully, I have captured the idea of unity.
