Here’s my three sketches for the corpse project. All of them heavily involved the cat picture I wanted to use but I tried to move around my other assets to create other compositions.

Here’s my final for the corpse project. I tried combining the pictures of a siamese cat, a beanie baby, Greta Thunberg, and Wildwood’s boardwalk and beach. I tried creating something that had an abstract and low-quality feel to it.

Here’s my final picture for the layer collage exercise. Doing this exercise felt very frustrating because parts of the collage weren’t working. When I’d try doing a hue over the merged layer, the cyan hands in the background wouldn’t appear at all. I’m not sure how, but when I went to change the opacity in one of the layers the blue hands had shown up again. I also messed up some of the scaling in the beginning.

Here’s my finished picture practicing with tonal scales. It wasn’t really that difficult to understand and I had no problems trying to finish it. Through practicing, I’ve gotten ideas about what I can do with hues and saturation for my final.

Here are the pictures I’ve chosen for this project. The first picture is the one I took with my camera, the 2nd is an old digital photo from Wildwood,  the 3rd is a picture of Greta Thunberg I found online, and the 4th is the random picture I wanted to use – a siamese cat.
