Maddie Ball's Digital Imaging

  I chose to do a self portrait for my final project and really take advantage of the different blending modes to bring out different colors in my work.  My art lately has been more abstract so I would love to show that in my self portrait as well and share my style.  

  This is what I have ended up with even though I think I want t push it a little bit further, I'm just not quite sure how.  I am happy with how it looks right now but still wonder if I should push it further and how I could do that.  

  I decided to change my idea to show bits and pieces of the drive I make from Boone to my home town since I go through basically all of North Carolina. 

 For this project I'm having trouble deciding how much of myself I want to put out there.  My first thought for this project was to show the fluctuations in my anxiety and depression throughout the Covid Pandemic as well as the toxic relationship I was in at the time, but that's a little heavy...  Another idea I've had is to show the changes in the outdoors throughout the year during different seasons, since we are in such a beautiful place where you can really tell when the seasons change.  I could combine different photos of my own over the time I have attended App State or use photos from the internet.
