I have always enjoyed working in a collage medium and working in photoshop is reminiscent of that process, adding, subtracting, cutting, layering meaning, implying other meanings. Investigating contemplation in this medium has offered lots of challenges technically but also lots of growth. My most significant accomplishment is my increased comfort level in photoshop.
Working efficiently with layers has been an ongoing process, most challenging but I am making progress. I have mastered basic techniques while improving my efficiency.
When I look back at where I began with the first two quizzes, the magazine cover and my grand daughter dancing, in both images I see how my use of technique was interesting but rough, the text tools on the cover awkward, the neon effect with the environment of the dancers still relatively undeveloped, but the seeds of meaning are there. By the time I got to the left side of my final, the Indian scene is well integrated with technique and intention, directing the eye to the right and blending into the kaleidoscope
