Artist Statement

In my portfolio you will find the personality of Kaylim Noel mixed with a taste of Ms. Cook’s direction. What I meant by this is that my pictures or images in my portfolio expressed my feelings or ideas about several different categories. My images also express my personality and how I am as a person. When you see my artwork you can automatically or assume that it was my creation. I’ve learned to make creative work you have to really think out the box or leave your normal element. You nearly have to be uncomfortable or something has to feel incorrect and strange almost to be creative.
I learned how to look at things from a different perspective. I also learned something very small such as a setting or control, angle of which a picture was took, or lighting can drastically change the mood or overall feel of an image. I feel my creativity was my best attribute of this whole process of creating interesting images. I tried to be different from everyone else and do my own individual thing in this class. I feel that my weakness in my portfolio of images was enhancing my pictures by using Photoshop.
My pictures were good but my lack of Photoshop skills hampered my pictures from becoming great images. Also if I had better skills with all the camera settings and the different features I would have improved my overall body of work in my portfolio. I was influenced by my teacher ms. Cook. I say this because she taught me how to think out the box. I improved the most in the area of how to take good pictures. I learned that angles and positioning can really play a major role how a picture looks or the way you want to be portrayed. I would like say that this was my favorite class and I could really express myself and I looked forward coming to this class because my teacher made it a fun atmosphere.
