Concentration #4

I don't think that this is the best picture so i would want to make it one of my first pieces, but I've been having trouble thinking about how to develop the idea.  The picture i added goes with one of the first ones that i added as pieces of the same machine.  I thought of photo shopping the pictures to compare them to body parts, but I'm not sure if I want to do that to develop my concentration.  I'm not really sure what I'm going to do for my next piece.  I think that I am going to go back to where I began with taking pictures of the parts of the car that we usually don't see and don't really appreciate until something goes wrong with them and then the car doesn't work, like many other things in life.  so i may or may not end up actually using this picture, i may have to go redo some others before I finish.  I think that the pictures I re-take will further explore the idea that I just mentioned with finding more parts of the car that we don't see from the outside.  I think i should try to do some more pictures like the first two pictures that I had taken, but I need to find more places on the car to take them.  I think for future concentrations I need to use more elements of design in my pirtues and just stick to the basic elements.

Change In Concentration

I decided that my first idea caused trouble since I figured out that creating the pieces to go with the idea would be beyond what I think I could produce since im not very well educated on photoshop.  I decided to change my concentration to having close up pictures of pieces that work together to allow a complex machine to work and I felt that this would help create a more obvious connection and would also allow for a more limited color scheme.  I'm not as happy with my final product yet as i hoped so I'm going to take better photos or edit them to make them better.  I've found some pictures that i want to model my concentration after.

The central idea of my concentration is that everything is made of smaller parts that allow it to function and that attention to detail is important in everything.  This picture shows how the strength of the materials ultimately make the product better, and i just feel that this picture shows that this part is important to the function of the car as a very complex machine.  I feel that i have shown how intricate the make up of a car is and that every part is important. I think that i should use more elements in my photos in my future concentrations.

Concentration Ideas

The idea that i plan to base my concentration on is the idea of how animals have to be able to adapt to different habitats many times throughout their lives due to human effects and natural changes. These natural changes can be anything from the debatable topic of global warming to the human caused deforestation to build new human habitats.  The pictures that I've chosen for my inspiration doent exactly show what I expect to make but it was something close.



This piece is mostly what im aiming for showing that if globa warming isnt slowed down that polar ice caps will melt and raise the depths of the oceans.



Polar bears habitats are being pushed further south due to the polar ice caps melting and them needing a place to be able to sustain life on land, though the polar bears rely on the white habitat to allow them to blend in from their prey.




My first three ideas are:
1. a tiger in the urban jungle
2. elephant in city streets
3. polar bear in desert
