I’m really glad that Pop Art was the first art skill I learned on Photoshop, because I think that all of the steps in it can be really useful in other areas of the program. I liked that it challenged me, (even though it was easy overall), because I had to be determined and optimistic, and pay very close attention to detail, in starting over, and over, to fix my mistakes. It was also a great way to begin the class because it was something I could easily relate to. I was a little scared coming into this class because I’ve never really been that into computers and technology, (except for coveting the iPod and internet etc.); I’ve always been an art/theatre/English sort of girl. I’ve also always been a huge fan of Andy Warhol. I was eager to attempt his trademark style of art. I’m exceptionally proud of the work I did on this project, as well as the finished product. My favorite part of the project, besides using my masterful pen-masking skills, was choosing the filter to add a vintage effect to the picture. I had a lot of fun trying to authentically imitate the ripened look of art from 40 years ago. All in all, I’m very satisfied with my first project in this class and I cant wait to prove myself in other areas of Photoshop.

well i hope you're not scared anymore because you're doing fantastically in here.
actually, i was never into computers either. i was an rtf major and a theater/choir geek in high school. i consider my classes to be more like art via technology classes -- i've always found it odd that these subjects are primarily considered tech classes. but that's fine... much more fun than computer science.
i'm very happy with your attention to detail and you willingness to push yourself to the height of your artistic abilities. it's going to make your digital art look stunning.
keep up the good work.
