To me art is a way of showing your personality through what you create. There is so many possibility throughout art- the mind has so many powerful messages that can be conveyed onto paper. It a way for people who might not believe they have a voice in the world to create a piece that will talk for them.

Artist create portraits in my opinion, to express how the people feel without words, it’s a way of creating an image of emotion and feelings to create awareness though people, to inspire them with only using a brush.

Portraiture that I like:

About myself:

Name: Alicia Kewley,

Date of Birth: 25th August 2004.

My interests:

I play for Ballasalla netball club as GD. I am apart of a great team who are friendly and respect each other. Netball is a sport that has shaped my ability with working within a team and always thinking of other people. It has made me more aware of the relationships i can build with my team mates, we support each other even if we don’t win it doesn’t matter to us.

Team:

I won a the first ever “Club player of the year” on the 26th of April 2019. It was a shield that I get to keep for a year, i was so happy as it made me feel accomplished even though i try my best in each game i never once cared for the score that came out at the end. I played every game i was given the opportunity to. I gratefully received a signature ball from George Fisher.

Players that Inspire me:

 Sharni Layton: GD/GK   George Fisher: GS  Laura Gietz: GK  Rachel Dunn: GS

There is so many other player that have made me re-think what i like about netball. Sharni and Laura inspire me because as someone who also plays as a defender they have brought a new look on defenders as in my opinion they didn’t get much appreciation before but now quality defence is supported very highly and in my opinion having girls like these made people gravitate and support the good quality of defence that they portray.

Art

I enjoy art as a way of creating anything that i want to, it a way of showing my skills without having to talk- my art shows my skills. I choose art as one of my GSCE subjects as i liked the subject and its only growing with time and experience. My topic is animals however i like to draw dogs mainly as i have two dogs of my own. I always want to improve my skills within drawing and creating as i believe there is always room for improvement and i am no way the best that i can be if i continue art within the future.

Animals

I am so grateful to be able to have my dream dogs. My family including: cousins, Uncles and aunties have been breeding husky’s since i could remember. I have always wanted a dog but its always been a concern if we could take care of one as we had never had a dog before. Three years on the 20th July my first dog who we names Alaska was born and we fell in love with her as she was so unique from her other 8 siblings who were all completely white. Alaska is a dark grey husky with amazing blue eyes and long ,fluffy fur. She is the sweetest dog ever and loves all animals especially a hedge hog that comes to see her sometimes.

This year in December my other dog called Amira was born companied by her brother Asher, four puppies died within the mother having the pups because she previously ate a sock which killed the pups other than Amira and Asher. We got Amira in January she has black fur and beautiful brown eyes i like it because Alaska and Amira are both different. Amira gives loads of kisses and always want to be close and give lots of cuddles, she’s still a puppy however my dogs intelligence and sense of smell is amazing.

My dogs are my best friends and i wouldn’t know what i’d do without them, if i need any support i know they are always there for me even if they don’t understand what is going on. They are so funny and the most beautiful dogs (In my opinion). Without them my life wouldn’t be as fulfilled as it is with them in it. They have changed my family for the better and made us go out more as they need a lot of exercise.

Aperture

Aperture is represented by “AV” which on the camera says Aperture priority AE. In photography Aperture controls the brightness of the image that passes through the lens and falls on the image sensor. It is expressed as an f-number (written as “f/” followed by a number), such as f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, /f4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22, or f/32.

Shutter Speed

Shutter Speed is represented as “TV” which on the camera shutter priority  AE. In photography, shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor.

ISO

ISO is the same on the camera as it is seen written. It stands for international Organisation of Standardisation.The term was carried over from film, when the ISO rating was known as the “film speed” and “ASA.”ISO in Digital Photography. In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain.

My photos

Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds is supposed to create drama and helps to build interest in a photo.

Example:

We tried to incorporate the rule of thirds into some of are photos by using different sides of the photograph.

I edited my photos on Light room and these are some of my favorites.

one person as a subject

Select ISO is currently a way of measuring the light sensitivity of a camera’s digital sensor. The lower the number, the less sensitive your film/ photograph or the less sensitive the digital camera is to light. 

Select WB stands for white balance which is used for removing strange and non-fitting (unrealistic) colour casts so that objects in photos whites appear rendered in a photo.  Within a proper camera balance has to take account for the “colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.

To do:

Close up face filling screen 18mm zoom (edited on Lightroom).

I like this photo because of the highlight on her face and how I was able to enhance them when using Lightroom. The zoomed in is quite an uncomfortable picture but I think once editing it with adding shading and contrasting tone to it, it makes it look more pleasant.

Close u face filing screen but moving away 55mm (edited on Lightroom).

I liked this photo because of her expression and how she isn’t looking bland she has a “cool” expression and the dirty background makes the image more interesting. When I edited this I added more darker tones to her hair and skin and I liked it because it added more depth into my image.

Set Camera to TV which means when a camera mode dial is set on AV. in TV, you can mainly choose a shutter speed setting while the camera automatically adjusts the aperture for each photo.

Standing still (edited on Lightroom)

Out of all of my standing photos I decided to choose this one because I liked the background and how it wasn’t completely clean it gives a nice contrasting effect because of the editing on her skin.

Walking across 1/15

I liked this photo because of the way the background blurred as she was walking past and how it the camera was able to focus on her even though she wasn’t still.

2-3 People as subject

Set camera to AV which stands for Aperture priority. Which is represented on a camera mode dial as AV which is a setting that allows some cameras to set a specific aperture value (f-number) while the camera selects a shutter speed to match. It will result in proper exposure based in the lighting conditions

Focused on the front person (F/3.5-5.6).

I liked the blur of this photo of my friends and how they were positioned and the way that the girl was not looking at the camera, she was looking down creating quite a more exiting image than if she was to look at the camera.

What is interactive Media?

Definition[edit]

Interactive media is a method of communication in which the output from the media comes from the input of the users.^[1][2] Interactive media works with the user’s participation. The media still has the same purpose but the user’s input adds interaction and brings interesting features to the system for better enjoyment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_media

My definition: Interactive media is a way of a creator connecting and interacting with other people through there own created media.

In our media classroom we have ceiling lights that hang from a spring like metal beam. The two types of light have different purposes and functions when trying to get the best possible lighting for a photograph.

The front of the light is the bulb, on the outside is the flash tube and you always have a reflector or a soft box to give soft quality of light rage of power settings balanced to daylight.

ISO is the sensitivity of being  in different lights it has low light which is very noisy or if you go to 100 you can see in low light but it is better quality.

One light has a bright flash and goes on and of, however the other light we have is red and is on constantly but doesn’t go as bright.

I advertised the competition by using the map from the internet of Peel and using photoshop to add the course of the race and label it start and finish. I added a title so people know what this is for.

I made this five pound note for Keisha, to advertise her adoption. I made it on photoshop and customised the title on the five pound note to make it more conniving.
