Art 380 - Collage with the Theme "Change"

For this exercise we had to use photoshop and the photo merge tool to composite a photomontage.We had to experiment with at least 3 different photo merge blend settings, such as reposition, collage, perspective, spherical, cylindrical; as well as appropriate adjustment layers to improve the contrast and tone. Then we had to incorporate other imagery into our composite that should further support our narrative of "change".My story of changed is referring to how we adjust to changing times, but still hold on to unchanging principals, in this chase the hunger for entertained. In ancient rome the people just needed bred and games (lat. panem et circuses), these days we are happy with hot-dogs and games on a sunday afternoon...., so not much has changed, we just adjusted...., well...barely.

Umiker's Winery

This project was a group project; the work was based upon group consensus. As opposed to individual work that was put together at the end, creating the whole of this project, we worked intensively, on each issue, as a group.

For this project the group dealt with an existing barn-structure that has been retrofitted to create a winery and a tasting room. Multiple real-world clients of interests were involved in the project: The Lewiston City Planning, The Nez Perce County Zoning Commission and the Umikers, the owners of the winery that is currently located in downtown Lewiston. It was a great experience to work with multiple clients, because it forced our group to think about a lot of aspects and impacts associated with building and landscaping that we haven't dealt with in previous studios.
