mixedMedia-media round robin

• How did the creation change as it went through multiple media? I did digital > non-digital > digital. My digital image i created using Photoshop. Using mask in Photoshop i created this image first.
  I took print out of it. then i used my color pencils to draw on it which was my non-digital process to it. 
  then again digitally i changed the image to look like it as shown in the final product. for this process i used my mobile app.
  
• How different, or similar, was the final product to the first creation? I liked my final product. it was amazing to see the changes myself. 
• How could this apply to your field of study outside this course? it helped my creative ability to think out of it to create this image. 
• What did you learn about media in this process? Using mixed media we can create a unique piece which cant be created using only one media. As always there are no restrictions in using any media in creation was exciting and was waiting for the unknown unique art piece.

Class was too silent today but it was good to listen to tastes assignment from everyone. I felt real hungry by listening to everyone's food assignment. I was waiting to go back home to have food. I am really excited for our next assignment because i always want to experiment with mixed media kind of things like creating it physically and altering it digitally. lets see how it goes.

New taste

As I am a vegetarian and a foreigner I have tried many new things over past few years. This time not entirely new but I tried eating pumpkin seeds that I have never had in my life, to try a new taste. Before eating it I had many questions in me that how exactly it tastes, is it hard, chewy, and bland? After trying it ....I felt like yes, it is little crunchy, little chewy, not so bitter but little sweetish but bland and mild, emotionless when I had it as it is. I felt like as if it is lacking some strong features in it. I tried both with shells and without shells on it. When I had them with the shells on it and the texture of shell was like eating fingernails. I am NAIL-BITER when I am nervous and I actually wanted to stop that bad habit of mine recently.  I was really disappointed after trying new thing over this weekend and spring break as it again reminded me of biting nails.

So, I suggested myself to try frying seeds. I fried and added salt and chili powder on it and the taste was amazing. It was salty and spicy, full of life, the tastes were fresh and flavorful. I was out of that disappointment and nervousness. Thanks to my positive thinking ability.

I just took picture of it and edited in Photoshop creating some moods out of it.

I added colors according to mood on it. I used grey, yellow and pink colors. Too much grey leads to feeling mostly nothing. I used grey to represent my first mood after tasting raw seeds. Then I used yellow and pink which represents my mood when I had fried seeds. Yellow because it relieved from nervousness I used pink as it is the color for relaxation.

This week’s class was short but sweet memorable class as I first got a chance to meet Mr. Michael, as Beth said he was in such a severe pain even though he made it with Beth as she did not want to cancel the class. I thank him for that and lesson to learn that we can sacrifice and do anything for our loved ones.

We discussed about our last assignment done which was who are you and why are you here? It was really fun and also made me really think for the first time seriously who am I and why I am here, here for me was not only in this class or IUPUI but in this world :).

Who are u and y r u here?

I am an extremely lovable, passionate, adorable person sometimes shy. At times, I am practical and prefer quietness. I am here to overcome shyness to come out of fear and to support and help my family, friends and people in need. so i colored blind contour drawing with four colors according to the meaning of colors in dreams which represent me. I used brown, pink, black and red.
BROWN: earthy, practical
PINK: love, love for mother, need for unconditional love
RED: joy, animal passion, fun
BLACK: fear, anxiety
Here is the picture of my blind contour drawing:
