The 7 Deadly Sins Project



For this project, It was difficult for me to brainstorm and gather ideas in the beginning. Later in the week, I decided to do a stop motion film on the topic, greed. My dad took pictures of my hands and the diamond. The first set of the photos didn't turn out professionally as I wanted it to be. The second set took a lot of work for me to make it look like the diamond is being crushed into dust. I liked how the angle, the lighting and the message came out.

I also took photos of three guys' eyes and took three photos of young good looking models from the Internet and photoshopped them into their eyes to make it look like they are lusting for more. It was a cool effect on the eyes of the guys and got to show the message from a different look of a perspective.

I took seven different pictures from the Internet and manipulated them into a unique type of effect. Lay all of the photos out onto film strips. It tied all of my photos together into a big piece of art and I liked how it turned out!

Inspiring Artist-Akiane Kramarik



"Butterfly Passion"
...Whether in his dream or for real, a horse is running after his love downstream, while the love butterflies surround him. The bubbles represent womb and beginning. I painted this scene to express the search for love and its meaning...

Akiane Kramrik has been a true inspiring artist to me. I love all of her canvases and it is amazing to look at her fine details in her every piece of art. She started drawing at the age of 4 and started painting at the age of 6 from her own imagination. This painting, the "Butterfly Passion" was done at the age of 10. It is beautiful looking at the stunning horse strolling down streams and bubbles of colorful butterflies floating around. The colors from the trees and the landscape reflecting on the calm river streams.

Your tears are free,
but mine are armed from above.
Let me hold our courage,
so the courage could arm our love!

This part of her poem is powerful to me because I can take her words into images of life. Someday, I would love to do a painting like hers.
