In progress: Concentration 8

I'm doing bike riding with my Dad for this concentration. This is his bike in the pictures. I'm not sure if I like the way these pictures look. I might retake them. For the background I want to make a tire stamp, by rolling the tires in mud or paint to create an impression on the paper.

Concentrations

My overall concentration focuses on the relationship I had with my dad, who passed away.

Concentration 1 - Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies were something my dad and I always baked together. When taking the photos I focused on the ingredients to symbolize the fact that it was the process and the time spent together that made chocolate chip cookies so special. I collaged cookie recipes in the background to represent the amount of recipes we experimented with in order to find the perfect one.

Concentration 2 - Cinnamon Rolls

My dad made these for me and my siblings. I used the mug I gave my dad and coffee stained paper to help emphasize that it was a morning treat. The main media i used was acrylic paint and i used chalk pastel to make the shadows. I also rolled brown paper to make the cinnamon sticks.

Concentration 3 - Birthday Cake

For my 12th birthday I asked my dad to bake me a rainbow cake and, to my surprise, he said yes. He made the cake with my favorite frosting and star sprinkles. I glued actual sprinkles and crushed sprinkles to make the painting more interesting. In the background I wrote what remembered about that day.

Concentration 4 - Pumpkin Muffins

Idea: I decided to go with pumpkin muffins as it was close to Halloween when I was working on it and it was something I baked with my dad instead of trick or treating.

Media: I took a photo of the muffins and used citrisolv to distort the image. I also added oil pastel in the background.

Process: I printed many copies of the image and practiced different methods with the citrisolv.

Concentration 5 - 'Bama Land

Idea: My dad had bought 87 acres of land in Alabama for me and my siblings as a fun place to spend our summer days.

Process: There was a lot different things to take photos of at the land. I wasn't sure what would look best or match my overall concentration theme the best.

Media: I used photography because I thought it was the best way to capture the land.
