Andy Warhol Effect

I experimented with Pedro to create an Andy Warhol type of image. First, I put a threshold effect on each image. Next, I colored each white section. I decided to leave his eyes blank, though.

Pedro - Dominican Republic

I did a project similar to this last year, only this year the child was from the Dominican Republic instead of Rwanda. This boy's name is Pedro. I wanted to give Pedro something back that included some forms of art media, but I also did not want to distort his face too much. To create this look, I added a photo of a Dominican Republic landscape behind Pedro's head. Then, I made each layer look as if it were painted over with watercolors. It was a very simple project, but I think Pedro will really appreciate it.

One Can Make a Difference

For the third and final part of our Rwanda collection, we were asked to chose a theme from the movie and create a series of six different works that represent that theme. I chose to represent the theme of one man standing out and making a difference. To represent this theme, I tried to find as many things as possible that could stand out in a crowd or represent a change. I also incorporated some of the crops or elements that showed up throughout the film, such as the machete. In addition, the real man that made a difference can be seen in a few of these images. Enjoy!
