Photoshop image exercise

To make these images I used images that I'd just found on google, I layered images on top of one another and experimented with the layer style and layer opacity. I also played with the hue and saturation by using the colours from my colour palette and then layered them up and finally used the eraser tool to rub out an image and reveal the one underneath. I really enjoyed this exercise I think the results you get are really pretty if I was to go back and do something else I think I'd use more images and make more and then go on to print it out digitally and then take it even further by taking it into the print room and use them as a background but I still feel that these images work beautifully just as a picture.

An Islamic Art Exhibition

Today I went to the islamic Art Exhibition at the muslim heritage centre. I thought this was a very inspirational exhibition firstly as a young muslim artist myself I feel their aren't enough muslim artists that stand up and show their work and have enough recognition, I think this exhibition has supported and gave artists in islamic community confidence. I also think this exhibition was a good research source for my project as some of the work showed the repeat patterns and colours I've been working on in my own work here are a few pictures that I've taken at the exhibition and I must say my favourite artist from the exhibition has to be Yusuf Ali, his use of riffles and guns to make a beautiful butterfly is very clever it makes something so ugly and violent look so beautiful it shows the importance people give to guns.

Print room

This week I went into the print room it was quite enjoyable. I got a lot of work done, I used lots of different types of materials which meant I could layer two and then print because some of the fabrics where thinner which made it more quicker and efficient.
