Like I am about to say to Dana, this was much more of a photographic project then a photoshop project, the majority of the hours were spent searching for/planning the right shots... I probably spent 10-15 hours taking pictures, and 5 editing them in photoshop.
This was more of a photography project then a photoshop project, I used photoshop to put the pictures together and to add the pollution in the background sky. Actually, I emailed this to my online AP teacher (adviser really) and he says combined with 5 more projects like this, I could nail a 5 (highest score) on the AP portofolio (AP Arts test) because they are not just well done, but they mean a lot personally to me--and probably most importantly, it's orginal, themed, and well composed.
That teacher is much more of a results kind of guy then an effort. If a peice looks amazing, and it took 2 hours, it still looks amazing, if a peice looks like shit--but it took 40 hours, it still looks like shit. The end result is all that matters in our current art industry.
Yeah it was the clouds, I was waiting for it to rain in the valley but not be raining in the mountains to give it that sheeted/rainy off in the distance look; and it took me a few weeks to actually figure out exactly how I wanted to compose it, a lot of off to the side composing and practice shots....

Thanks
And thanks to everyone else too!
... oh and this is the editing I did on the self portrait (first photo = what my face looks like when sunburned/covered in make up because of sunburn lol)
You obviously didn't take many art classes, or understand art. By the sounds of it, her teacher gave them the project like mid year or even the beginning of the year. my teacher did this for 4 years I took art in High School. he left it up to us if we wanted to spend the whole term on the project, few months, weeks, or the night before (he never asked us until after he graded it).
And like Bri said... people who spent the entire year on it... some of them got shitty marks. People that did it one or two hours before it was due, got 100%. Time spent on art in the end, holds as much worth as your post.
Just my artistic opinion.

I like the progress shots Bri, you did a great job!! Looks pretty neat! Hope you get a good mark.
More importantly though, are you happy with it?

It's actually for AP art, which is something like that. What AP art is, is basically you do 25 ( I think ) really random peices of art, while trying out new styles/mediums/exploring, then you do 15 more projects that are more focused on style/medium/theme, and then you do 5 high quality, strongly themed, same medium/same style peices. Then you send them all in (photos of all of the ones but the 5 quality ones) to be graded by AP Art officials. I am taking it online, though, because the school I moved too doesn't offer it here. I don't get in class grades at all for each individual project, just the test at the end. The teacher who is giving me advice is my old art teacher.
I absolutely love this because it REALLY expresses the theme I want to commit too and the compusure turned out more perfect then I thought it could
We are only supposed to do the 5 quality peices after everything else, but I am doing mine along with everything else, because I want to take my time on each quality peice and it doesn't matter because I dont have any due dates except the ap test date.
Sounds like the OAC art course they offered at my school, had to take it to get into some college for art, was too structured for my taste

Mine is the least structured art I have ever taken! That's why I love it... they're basically like 'here is a year, or even two if you like it, make 25 random peices of art, 15 good peices, and 5 amazing ones. Go!' and then they leave you alone ... lol
You could if you had a better editing program.
I know DPP doesn't allow for colouring the sky and putting an image superimposed onto another image, but that is not the software for that, that is merely Photoshop
I do have photoshop, but only elements 8
Nothing wrong with E8. I use it cuz it will do almost everything that the expensive version does as far as us amateurs is concerned. I don't like to doctor my shots up so just use it for basic stuff really. One thing I do like about it is you can open in RAW and handle a lot of stuff right then and there. It's amazing actually.
I know, it does me good for editing photos
I compared her pose to the ring, it was a joke. I think she looks fantastic, not at all like a dead zombie/ghost/thing. I'm not the one who came in the thread calling her hard work crap and saying I could easily do better.
