Colorize

          My strongest technical aspect of my work was how I got all the colors to appear in the graffiti. I am actually really proud of how cool the colors look and I really like how every color gives it the appearance as if the colors could really be the colors of the graffiti, even though they aren't the same colors. I could have improved on how the bottom of the picture appeared. Some of the edges on the bottom of the photo were kind of weird because of the contrast from the wall to the ground. It doesn't look bad but I probably could have made it look a little bit better.

          I thought that once the photo was black and white it was easy to pick out the parts of the photo you had wanted to be a different color. I also thought that selecting specific sections to paint over was easy but it could be difficult I got frustrated a few times but you just have to be patient and then you will get it done. I thought it was difficult to choose a picture to use because I first picked a picture and got half way through editing it and then hated it and I started over with a whole other picture. I thought the graffiti picture came out really well and that I would enjoy doing that one more so I transitioned to this one and I think it came out really well. I thought picking the photo was a struggle because I couldn't really find one that I could picture looking amazing because a lot of the pictures I had had lots of sections of just black, but then I remembered I had the picture I used and I liked how this one turned out. 

          I demonstrated the objective of this activity by making a black and white photo appear to be full of color. I edited the sections of graffiti that had once been filled with color and then changed the layout of them and I like how it turned out. I really like how the yellow looks and I feel like it stands out among the other colors. If I could do this art activity again I would have made sure I had more pictures with colors and distinct exes rather than photos with huge sections of black.  I would want my pictures to be more like the one above so I could have more of an idea of where to begin and what would look good once it is finished.
