For this assignment we were asked to create an image which had meaning for us. For my piece I chose to create an image combining two memories from my childhood. The first was a game I played where I'd pretend I was catching the birds outside my window in my hands. The second, my grandpa, Floyd, loved Doris Day's song Que Sera Sera and sang it often.
To create this image I:
Increased the contrast and shadows of a picture of my sister-in-laws hands.
I then created a 8"x8" box and filled it with a blue square
placed the text in the image arranging the Que to be larger and the Sera's to align with the top and bottom
Used black to contrast against the light blue of the background
Added the hands and changed the blending mode to Color Burn
There is contrast in the color scheme. The text aligns with each other. The birds and 'sera' are repeating.
The images of the birds came from: http://www.freestockphotos.biz/stockphoto/15198 https://pixabay.com/en/pigeons-birds-flock-doves-animals-569112/
