Sam's Digital Artist's Canvas Proposal

"I am aware that I will be evaluated on the final product and on my successful presentation of my concept or theme. I am aware that Peter must approve this project idea before I continue."

Here is what I learned during my research:
What I have learned from doing this project is that the instructions are very important to do this task. You need to read them in order to complete the task properly. Othewise you will be guessing something totally different just by scanning the blog's instructions. I learned that peace and respect are not so difficult to show, but some people rather do things the harder way and go the opposite direction. The Iraq war has taught me that the American troops are told to strike fear by doing horrible things, then being peace keepers. Canada can't be the only coutry to try and bring peace and respect among Iraq and all countries.

Here are three ideas/topics that I have thought of:


1. Peace and Respect by Music, like Bob Dylan's music back in the sixties with the protesting times. I learned that Bob Dylan and other artists like Buffalo Springfield would speak out about war and racism. If there was respect and peace, where there would be no war and racism then things would be better.
2. Peace and Respect by Nature and Culture, because people like the Native Canadians lived peacefully before voyagers came and destroyed the peace and respect for their culture. There was plenty culture before but now things ae more complicated. The Aboriginal people live in the reserves. There needs to be peace and respect among all Aboriginals and different cultures.
3. Peace and Respect in Iraq, which I already talked about. So now I'm going to just add that there are so many horrid things like torture and death. Many children have died and been killed due to the War in Iraq.

The idea I have chosen to pursue is:

3. Peace and Respect in Iraq.

I went with that because I thought that the point hasn't gone far enough to reach George Bush. He doesn't not understand that enough harm has been inflicted. The things that need to be done now are to make peace with Iraq even though it might be too late. Peace and Respect need to be brought between America and Iraq.
I had three ideas:

1. Peace and Respect by Music

2. Peace and Respect by Nature and Culture

3. Peace and Respect by Peace in Iraq

My idea I went with was:

What is Real - Performance Task


I thought that Peter's picture needed some cloud modification. The clouds didn't go well with the rest of the picture. So what i did was i brightened them up with the brush tool. After i painted them white it went with the rest of the glow of the picture.
