Pop Art Portrait

Nicole was the subect in this pop art assignment. Pop art, is classified as having the characteristics of vivid colors, graphic novel/ comic book feel, and also un-natutral or exaggerated colors. Each individual photo inside the photo as a whole represents a different color scheme. The top left is analogus colors, meaning colors that are next to eachother on the color wheel. So I used orange and red-orange. The top right is a monochromatic scale. Meaning different colors of the same hue, in this case I chose purple. The bottom left is complimentary colors, colors that are opposite to eachother on the color wheel. I chose red and green. Lastly is triadic, colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel, red, blue, and yellow is what I picked. I first outlined the subject with the lasso tool so I could delete out the background. Then changed the photo to black and white and posterized it. After that I colored each section with a different color, ei: the face, skin, and hair. Then I used the layers effect to change the look of the colored sections. After that, all that was done was filling in each section in the paint bucket and dragging all four photos together!

I really liked how this project turned out! Of course, there are some things that I would change to it. In the top left picture there is a little purple showing on the earring, which does not go with the analogus scale im using. Also, in the botton right, the blue shadow of the skin of the neck is going into the red of the hair. It was hard to color in precisly each section with the paint brush tool so it would not go out of the lines. Besides those things I think this project went quite well!
