Lucy Wang<br />
Grade: 7<br />
School: MS 74, Queens<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Irene Papamichael<br />
Photoshop image<br />
STUDENT: I cannot imagine what<br />
it would be like to live in a world<br />
without art. My art teacher inspires<br />
me and helps me come up with<br />
new ideas. Her feedback is always<br />
beneficial. I feel very fortunate to<br />
have such an amazing teacher. The<br />
design problem I had was how to<br />
adjust the color of my face to fit in<br />
with the entire image. Filters were<br />
suggested to me, I experimented with<br />
them, and eventually the right one<br />
came along. There were times where I<br />
felt frustrated with this but then when<br />
it finally matched and came together I<br />
was relieved to see the difference.<br />
TEACHER: Students created selfportraits<br />
reflecting their bright<br />
futures. Exercising their design<br />
and Photoshop skills, they showed<br />
their vision for the future in their<br />
glasses, together with their choice of<br />
background. They developed their<br />
personal style through the application<br />
of the Principles of Design.<br />
Lucy worked very hard on her portrait<br />
and was determined to achieve unity<br />
in her color choices. Paint splatter<br />
is usually messy but she found a way to<br />
make it work to her advantage. There<br />
is a sense of harmony throughout<br />
her composition.<br />
