Altered color print

For this project we were assignment to print a image and alter it in some way. I decided to print a image of a sunflower and color the flower yellow and leaves green. I used my Canon Rebel T5, the darkroom process, and sharpies to create these images. Some of the photographic techniques I used are: the yellow and green makes this photo have high key lighting, the petals act as leaving lines, the pedals also represent grouping, and formal balance is used because the flower is centered in the middle of the image. I used the following elements of art in my artwork: the yellow and green represent color, the pedals represent line, the pedals and circle shows shapes, and there is also different textures shown on the flower and the leaves. To add interest to my composition, I used these principles of design: the balance used in this image is formal balance, there is contrast in color and in texture, there is emphasis on the flower because it is in the center of the image, and the pedals show pattern. Overall I think that I could have done better.
