• Portrait of a man (Self Portrait?). Imitation art challenge

• A Selfie with A Mask
  This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course. I put my mask on and took a selfie, and then removed my mask to take another selfie. After my images were taken, I then put them in Adobe Photoshop. In Adobe, I used my selfie without the mask and cut out a layer of the upper half of my face. I flipped it upside down and (not to get too technical in my description) burned it into the mask on my selfie wearing my mask image. I found two other images online to go with my theme and cropped them out to incorporate into my picture. The purpose for my eyes being on the mask is to convey the message as "Watch what you say (Hence the eyes over the mouth), because what you say can be hurtful and not be taken back". So, one person may see the mask and the cell by my head thinking it's just a defeat the virus with mask. Someone else may notice the eyes on the mask and the other image showing a guy delivering a punch from the mouth with harsh words. After looking at it for a while, you could draw several conclusions. For Example, I let my daughter look at it and asked what she got from the picture (She's 6) and she said "That man is screaming at the other guy because he must have gave him Coronavirus". I hadn't even thought of it that way but I liked how she used her imagination to interpret what she "saw".

• A Walk On The Hill
  1. Hello my name is Bly. My major is public health, and I’m interested in joining the dental program and school here at ECU. I’m 18 years old and am a freshman here at ECU. I was born and raised in Winston Salem NC and enjoy disc golf, music, going out with friends, dogs, and video games. 2. My process behind my picture was quite simple. It’s currently spring time here on the ECU campus and flowers are blooming. I thought the spot beside on of the living building was a nice spot to take my mask photo. Several of flowers bushes and trees on campus are in bloom and make the spots on campus pop. 3. My mask is just a regular protective face mask. My photo is supposed to show the beauty of spring on campus. My pose is just a selfie with me smiling behind the mask. It’s obviously harder to tell emotions of people with a mask, so throughout the coronavirus pandemic I have just been putting on a smile and being as socially social distant as I can. I want people to know that I’m just smiling hoping people get a good vibe. 4. I took the photo I did in the spot I did because I really enjoyed the bright colorful bushes that were around the building. Another spot I was thinking about taking a picture is in front of the Scott building where the trees were blooming with bright pink petals. I believe my photo is aesthetically pleasing because of the color and the expression that’s hidden under my face mask. I try to make the most out of my life during this pandemic. I do like to think that this picture shows my attitude and earths beauty during this time on earth. The face mask is a protective piece that people have to wear during this time to help lower the spread of Covid-19. So it’s became harder during this time to understand people based on there facial expressions and feelings. I enjoyed taking this photo and writing this essay. I just want people to be happy and continue to try making the best out of this pandemic. This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's spring 2021 ART 1910: Art Appreciation course.

• Discussion 1: The imitate an Artwork Getty Museum lockdown Challenge
  Hi, so my name is Niyah Bacon, and yes like the food. I am technically a freshman but in the system, I am currently a sophomore at the university. I am currently pursuing Accounting as my major and I plan on being a CPA in the future. I don’t necessarily have a background in art besides the required classes that everyone takes throughout your K-12 school experience. I do like to think a hobby and passion of mine could be considered as art, I love doing hair, and I also plan on becoming a cosmetologist during college or after. I feel like hair can be a way of art and a stylist has to be creative in their own way to create a certain style or to work with multiple types of hair. My first thing was what is something I can find that I could possibly create. I wanted to think outside the box but also work with what I have in the house. So I picked the photo I wanted to use and then I set up the background first. I took two of my dining room chairs and stacked them up. I then had to ask my mother for help getting my ‘model’ to stay still for the pose. I also used my dog’s toy as the crown and his vest to match the outfit in the painting. I don’t know who the painting is by due to where the painting is from but my mom purchased it from T.J Maxx. I first was definitely stumped for a few days but then I looked at the picture that’s been in the dining room and had a lightbulb moment. It wasn’t the easiest to recreate but it made sense to do it because I love dressing my dog up so I did as such. This project showed how creative true artists are and how the thinking process can be and it’s very creative to think of a piece and make it. This project while we are still in a pandemic shows how you can make anything out of anything. It definitely is a good way to keep those creative juices flowing and throw something new into your day as this pandemic might have some feeling life is a blur and repetitive.
