First Project in D210 Digital Art: Survey & Practice

In my Digital Art class I am working on my first project, in which I am using photoshop to combine three photographs to create one cohesive and "photo realistic" image. I am cutting and pasting an image of a battleship into an image of an indoor swimming pool and then I will add in images of people also. I want it to seem as though the image was taken from a dream of a swim meet.

Bio

My name is Mary Elizabeth Miller and I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. I am currently in the last semester of my senior year at Indiana University and will graduate in May with a BFA in sculpture along with a Minor in Art History.  

Through my studies at Indiana University I have developed knowledge of different mediums and have also learned how to look at art and design conceptually. My knowledge of material allows me to create art that is conceptually influenced by material, all while understanding the fundamentals of color and design. I have found that all forms of art (2-D and 3- D) can overlap and influence other forms of art in positive ways and that having an understanding of multiple mediums has helped me to do this in my own work.

Currently, with my art I am focused on patterns that reoccur in nature. I am mostly interested in patterns that seem to appear in many different ways and that are also very repetitive. Through my art I hope to explore how people perceive these patterns and which visual aspects of these patterns overlap the most.
