 Second assignment got pushed back until Monday, so tiny update for this post. I didn't do anything in class yesterday except make images because I lowkey have no vision, but I chose to do a fake of Georges Seurat. He was the first artist that I learned about in grade school that I actually gave a shit about, mostly because his unconventional methods of pointillism really stuck out to me. "A Day In the Park" is an iconic painting, and one of the first art projects I did was trying to make an image using small dots. I've never been artistically gifted, and I think the accessibility of Seurat's art style is what drew and has still drawn me to him and his work.  So yeah, that's who I've chosen as my artist to make a fake of. I think I'm going to do something beach-inspired, because my main though right now is to do something with the St. Augustine lighthouse. That lighthouse is really special to me and my family, so I think it will be nice to do something

 This week we're working on our second assignment using Photoshop, which is to create a "digital fake" for a specific artist. So, basically, make an image that looks like it could be made by that artist if they were still alive. The first artist I wanted to create a fake of was Edvard Munch, because I like a lot of his work and the way he uses light and warmer colors. But, Midjourney absolutely hated him and any attempt I made at creating an image in the style of his art.  The next artist I thought would be cool to use was Roy Lichtenstein/Andy Warhol, because I think the pop art style is really fun and uses colors in an interesting way that we don't normally see. But as I created images, I realized that there wasn't really a vision I had in mind for making some sort of fake, especially because I wasn't as familiar with the methods these artists used to create their work. My attempt at making a fake Warhol turned out like this:  But, I realized this is basical
