Hands

For this project I created a image that uses hands. To show hands I took a photo of my sister holding her hamster. I used my camera and photoshop to edit this image, I used photoshop to turn the photo black and white. I used the following compositing rules: low key lighting seen in the dark colors used in this photo, formal balance is used because both sides of the photo are virtually the same , leading lines shown in the lines of my sisters jacket and my sisters fingers also act as leading lines , and close distance. I used the following elements of art in my project: line shown by my sisters jacket and her fingers, there is texture on my sisters hands and the fur of the hamster , and form shown in the different figures in this image. I used these principles of design in my design: this image used formal Balance , there is contrast in the colors of this image and there is contrast in the textures of this image, and unity which is shown in the harmony of this image. This completed work makes my feel good because I feel that making the image black and white really makes you focus on the different elements I used. By creating this project I learned that when you turn a image black and white it can make your image stronger. This artwork relates to my life because my sisters is the one holding the hamster and she got this hamster as a late christmas present.
