Tiny Spherical Worlds



In GT we have been working on a new project called tiny spherical worlds and to make them you had to take about 10-15 pictures to make a panorama in photoshop by photo-merging the pictures into a panorama the reason why you need more than 1 composite image because in order to make a spherical world you need to overlap photos and make it into a huge panorama, if you do only take one picture then your out of luck and might want to reconsider your position and take some extra photos. If you do have only photo then it may be possible to do it but it would be harder to do to make a panorama and a little world with it being big enough to see. Another reason why 1 composite image isn't enough is because then that one image alone wouldn't be able to stretch far enough to make a tiny world. 




The difference between a spherical and polar world is in the spherical the background is white and the polar background is black. Next, the polar has the sky on the inside of the world and the spherical has the sky surrounding the world as if it's floating in space. Another reason why they are different is because the polar when it's a panorama you have to flip it 180 degrees so it's upside down then you have to go to the polar coordinates and make it into a tiny world on the other hand the spherical world you don't have to flip it upside down.



Something that makes my tiny worlds convincing is for one they are circular. Two they are trees and mountains that are in a world. 3 they are very colorful and look realistic. 4 like this <- it looks like one house on the world which I live in. Lastly you can't see any seams sealing the world together with the stamp tool. Overall I think that my worlds look pretty realistic because of the background and there are no people on my world other than me ;)

Hockney Style Joiners






David Hockney's photomontages are different from mine because his photos are professionally done and he has been doing this for years and we just started for the first time. On my photomontage I took the pictures outside and I took mostly took them of the tree that my subject Alina was underneath to make it look like it was covering her like a giant umbrella even though the tree didn't look that big in real life. Another reason why my photomontages are different from David Hockney's is because his photomontages show emotion but we just started so it doesn't really capture emotion. 

I think my photomontage can send a positive message by if you look at it you can tell that it's for hula and by that I dance hula. I'm not sure what kind of emotion it would bring other than confidence for me when I dance at the hula Hoike on stage with my other hula piers.


What I want my audience to see in my final is that it's like a commitment and something that is very meaningful to me personally. I think that it's pretty clear to see the image like what it supposed to be even though it's mixed up. The audience might see it as okay it's a photomontage of hula stuff or they might see it as a drum and bamboo sticks but they have a deeper meaning than just a couple of supplies for an activity it helps me do what I love even if I'm in doubt I can depend on perfecting it throughout practice with me knowing I can do it no matter what.
