Opportunity Cost

Yesterday, I was faced with the decision to either buy a $1 candy bar (as part of my school's fundraiser) or spend the $5 I currently had to sign up to participate in the IB Dessert. Yesterday was the last day that students or parents could pay to attend the IB Dessert, so my choice was either to get the candy bar - effectively preventing me from purchasing the IB Dessert ticket as I would have an inadequate $4 - or get the ticket which would leave me with no money to buy the candy bar. I chose to spend my money on the IB Dessert (what a good student) and forfeit the candy bar. With the IB Dessert ticket purchase, my opportunity cost became my obtaining of any candy bars that were for sell that day.

Scarcity

This is Rosemary Focaccia bread, one of my favorite foods! Whenever we get this from the store, it goes quickly because it is a popular food item in our household. Therefore, this is a scarce resource for me and I always try to eat as much as I can before it disappears.

Boom. Need opinion.

End Note

Digital Arts 2 was a whole lot of fun! Here at the end, I look back and am surprised on how much I was able to get done with one semester of work. Usually, I take forever on art projects - perfectionist- but this class forced me to pick it up a bit which I really liked. I have learned a lot more about such applications as Corel Painter 12, Flash, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator and much more! My favorite project was the animation squiggle vision joke because it was fairly quick and the product was rewarding to watch. I struggled most with the portrait because it forced me to be a little reckless with building up instead of detail work. Also, there were so many options in that program, Corel Painter 12, that I was slightly overwhelmed. Overall though, I noticed the more time I spent in a program the more adept I was in it by the end. Thanks for everything Mrs. Robinson! :)

Rotoscoped Music Video

This is my rotoscoped music video. I learned how to take a video of real life movements and create filters or hand-drawn changes out of it. The time it took to hand draw every frame was excessive though, but that is my favorite version of me spinning. For a first attempt it was pretty good though, and I noticed them more time I spent on it the more I learned about the program overall. Hope you enjoy!

Final Portrait

This is my portrait. I used Coral Painter 12; in this, I leaned how to use this program which had so many tools and options, making it was slightly intimidating. The butterflies in the background are evidence of me making a brush from an image off the Internet and using it on the portrait. Again, the hair is one of my favorite aspects of this digital art image.
