The excitement of photo editing !!

Hi again :)

Okay so I’m STILL procrastinating about the studying... but I’ve been quite productive with business research, photography breakthroughs (yes I’ve only just discovered a REAL photo editing programme, and yes I am SO EXCITED!), and a possible new route to take with my art!!

Digital Art?

I downloaded PhotoScape today, amazing free software, easy to use, so much fun for a beginner, I know I’ll be enjoying all its features a long while!
Try it out if you're interested in the basics of photography and enjoy editing.

I spent the morning playing with photos, real possibilities of doing photography for cash, let’s wait and see :) I also played with a few effects and editing colours, fun fun :)

All this fun got me thinking, this is art, surely I can do this sort of thing for my assignments??
Check out what I did, a really quick (well an hour or so) experiment with my own sketches in photos and edited on PhotoScape.

Photo of original ink hand drawn heart

Photo of original ink hand drawn lollipop

Photo of original ink hand drawn house

Candy House complete- edited on Photoscape

So what do you think? Hand draw a sketch, photograph it, digitally enhance photo and submit that for my assignments??
Would UNISA allow it for a visual arts degree?

Please leave your comments below :)

Stay Smilling
