a color palette is traditionally known as the pigments an artist choses to mix together in order to create a work of art, as in the paint one blends onto a canvas with black or white to bring a portrait or landscape to life. this can be applied to other media such as photographs, movies, or digital designs. the combination colors we see can often evoke different emotions- such as blue for coldness or grief, or pinks for romance and love. below are a few color palettes from photos of myself. these palettes were made by picking up exact hues from the original pictures using the eyedropper tool in photoshop, not created before staging the photos to portray a certain emotion (yet the first one invokes a bit of greed). from these palettes, you could create a poster design, painting, mood board, etc. enjoy!

it happens to the best of us. whether it’s on purpose or not, sometimes we go too crazy with the liquify tool or filters, forget to remove a blemish, superimpose ourselves in the background of another photo of ourselves, you name it. here are some of my examples of bad photoshop. the sad part is I did actually try my best on these, but I still hope you enjoy.

point: a point marks a position in space, a pair of x and y coordinates; it has no mass at all.

line: a line is an infinite series of points, a line has length, but no breadth; it is the connection of two points in space.

plane: a plane is a flat surface extending in both height and width, a plane is the path of a moving line; it is a line with breadth

we see examples of points, lines and planes all around us, in two dimensions and in three. a point could be a corner where two walls meet the ceiling. grout between a grid of tiles is a line we see. a plane could be the surface of the desk you’re sitting at, or the floor you walk on. below are some examples of the three.

hi there. my name’s kira, but you can call me kip. i’m a visual arts student at university of toledo interested in multimedia forms of expression in 2D and 3D and art museum practices. some of my favorite kinds of media include sculpture, graphite and watercolor. i’ve worked in a local gallery installing shows and enjoy being immersed in a community of artists. i hope to learn more methods of creating and analyzing artwork through my education, where i am planning to pursue a bachelors of fine arts. i like to take inspiration from personal experiences and loved ones when creating artwork, while sometimes incorporating my political or spiritual beliefs. i hope you enjoy what i have to offer! x.
