Unedited: Edited:  1. For this project, I chose a mini figurine of Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. For my third birthday party, I had a Lilo and Stitch themed party, and this toy of Stitch was atop my cake. I was obsessed with Lilo and Stitch for majority of my life, and I felt like I related to the movie characters a lot.  2. The compositional elements that I chose was viewpoint, texture, cropping and rule of thirds. I used these three elements to give my photo more definition. Since the object was small, used viewpoint to show face to face perspective of Stitch. I used some water and the rocks in the background to add texture to the photo.

Cyanotype Reflection 1. In this project, I learned about Anna Atkins and the process she used to create a cyanotype. 2. I chose a lightbulb, star stickers, lace, and leaves to create my cyanotypes. I picked these materials because I knew that the silhouette of them would turn out to be really cool.  3. Some of the objects did not appear on the cyanotype that I envisioned. Specifically the lightbulb, I didn't know that the shadow of it would appear on the photo. I also could have placed the lightbulb in a different location.  4. If I did this again, I would have added more star stickers to the cyanotype, as well as place the lightbulb in the center of the photo, rather than crooked. I would also have painted the chemicals on the paper more thoroughly, as many white edges appeared in the photos.
