Lyrical Triptych Reflection

While working on the Lyrical Triptych assignment, we were  told to pick one song that meant something to us. We had to pick several parts of the song and each triptych had to visually represent that part of the song. First I choose pictures that had to do with the whole song, then I focused on which parts of the song that I wanted to do my Lyrical Triptych on. When I knew what part of the song that I wanted, I then choose from the pictures that I downloaded and decided what went best with the lyrics.

            My triptychs are all about war and guns. The song that I choose was “In for the Kill” by La Roux. Each of my triptychs all have the common element of guns. The finished work has some kind of dark, yet forgiven lifestyle kind of feel to it. I tried to create a this is what I do but I don’t want you to leave e for it because I love you. Some of the photoshop tools that I used where the magic wand, magnetic lasso, blending option, variations, and filter. I used sketch and texture in the filter option

            I used images that had something to do with that particuar part of the song, which was mostly about “killing”. I tried to pick pictures with the mood of the song that I get when I listen to I, that being wanting to tell your lover what you do as a job (or hobby), and not being sure if he/she will accept you for it. To create that feeling I used sort of dark depressing colors, like in the first triptych I used mostly blacks and grays to show that its not a happy setting. In the second triptych, I used black, gray, and blue. The way the colors worked together also made a sort of ad setting. The last triptych was a little brighter because I wanted to so that there was a “happy” ending.

            Working in Adobe Photoshop was a fun experience for me. It was fun to me to learn how to make collages on the computer. I think that my last lyrical triptych could have been a lot better. It didn’t really go with the first two. If I was given thin assignment again I would have thought more about what to put in the last triptych and made it go along more with the first two triptychs. 

i hate it when you feel like you changed ALOT then get recognized by an old friend from the 4th grade. i need to have a drastic makeover!   

i never known what a lyrical triptych was but i just fund out that it is aweSOME!! hope you enjoy my work..
