Smile Series

                             Smiles                                   Rachel Andrejcak                               2014                                                        

For this assignment I knew exactly what I was going to do as soon as I was told about it. I find everyone smiles interesting to look at because not every smile is the same. For the actually project I took all of the pictures in the same lighting and back round. I didn't want to just put all of the photos next to one another because I feel that basic. So I added different colors to make it pop. lastly I used the desaturation for the four corners to just give it more of an interesting look. 

Myself In a Painting

"Dogs Playing Poker"  Rachel Andrejcak
This is a famous painting where I put my best friend and I as the picture in there room.

Artistic Inspirations

Hamburger, 1985-1986 Warhol

You may know Andy Warhol for his neon colored pictures of Marilyn Monroe but most of his work it very similar, although his earlier work was much different. I love the bright colors.

Two Women Eating From A Bowl,1821-23 Goya

This may also look familiar, from the artist Francisco Goya who also created "Saturn Devouring His Son." He has a lot of wrenched looking people in his art that I enjoy.

From Miley to Miranda,2013 Richardson

This photography is famous for taking pictures of celebrities but one he especially likes to photograph is my favorite Miley Cyrus. His pictures are very clear and have solid backgrounds. I Really like him.


Jacob In Peony, 2013 Geddes

From seeing all of these pictures of infants hanging in my kitchen my whole life to now learning what a wonderful photographer Anne Geddes. I believe her baby photos are adorable and simply precious.

Solider, 2014 Von D

This is a tattoo by my favorite tattoo artist Kat Von D. Her portraiture completely amazes me and some day it is my dream to get a tattoo from her. Incredible how she can do this on skin using ink some cant even draw it on paper.

Project Graduation T-Shirt

David Hockney Inspired Collage

                                         "Puzzle Tree"          Rachel Andrejcak            2014
I had a bit of a difficult time with this project. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Putting all the pictures where they belong is pretty hard even with the picture right next to it. What I did was copy and paste the photos I took and put them all together like a puzzle thus why I named this the puzzle tree. Overall I believe it came out the way I wanted it to.

                                                                                                                                                 





                         "Michael My Favorite"                  Rachel Andrejcak              2014
This is my favorite piece I have ever done. Michael is one of my TAPS students and he is the absolute best. I used a lot of cropping out certain parts to make this picture exactly how I wanted it to be. I believe it came out the exact way I wanted it to.

Then and Now

                       "Halloween Heather 08'-14"           Rachel Andrejcak            2014

 

I'd Rather Be...

                        "Asylum"                              Rachel Andrejcak                                 2014
I'm extremely happy how this photo came out. Your probably having a difficult time finding where I actually am in the photo. I am in the top right corner right below the word asylum next to the girl in fetal position. To complete this photo I had started with a very bright photo of myself and used the hue/saturation to dim the color and I used the lasso tool to cut myself out of the background. I hope you all like it as much as I do. And I also hope it was a little difficult finding where I was placed in the photo.

Partner Portraiture

                                "Halloween Bruh."       Rachel Andrejcak                          2014
For this project I had to do a lot of editing in photo shop. First I started with using the lasso tool to cut out the body and heads to place them on the hands. After that I used the magic wand to cut of the pumpkins to place where the heads originally were. Lastly I just took a simple photo of the desk to use as the background. Overall I like it a lot and think it came out exactly how I wanted it to.
