Description: This was my very first lo using photoshop. I have had it for awhile, but have been too scared to use it, (it all seems too hard) especially during the ADSR, but I couldn't do what I wanted to do in my old program....so I had to use it to get the effects I needed. I loved every minute of this particular challenge.
ADSR Challenge 4 instructions:
The Art and Soul Challenge!You both must complete this challenge! However, this is a FAST FORWARD challenge which means that the first team done can SKIP the January 18th challenge if they wish!
1. The Art of it: Your LO must have artistic flair! Literally! Your LO must have at least 3 things "artsy" and/or "altered" on it--(such as but not limited to: paint splatters, a paintbrush, paint spills, crayon doodles, goopy glitter, watercolors, canvas AND/OR altered art items such as wings on photos, art dolls, vintage doodads, ephemera, etc). Really stretch yourself and try something "artsy" that you haven't tried before!2. The Soul of it: You must journal something from your Soul. Something positive, heartfelt and meaningful to you in your life! Something you've learned, something you've gleaned from your life experience. Perhaps something you would want to pass on to the next generation! (It can even be your favorite quote and why it touches/inspires you) Uplift us, make us smile--inspire us! You must share your journaling with us-if it's hard to read or blended into the background-part of the challenge is to share your journaling in your description.
Journalling Reads:
What is the one thing guaranteed to soothe my soul? The ocean. I LOVE the ocean. The sound, the smell, the sight, and yes, even the taste of the sea. It always seems to invoke a sense of peace, a sense of relaxation, a feeling of letting everything go. Next to the ocean I feel so small, my problems feel so inconsequential. The sea is so powerful, so huge, so beautiful. I love the difference Mother Nature can make to the sea, sometimes it is quiet, gentle, serene, and yet at other times it is so noisy, so angry, and so powerful. To walk along the beach, no matter what the weather, will still the turmoil within me. To walk with my feet in the water on warmer days is soothing, relaxing and refreshing. On wild and windy days when the waves are lashing the beach, the wind is throwing the sand stingingly across my face, and my hair is whipping around my head in a frenzy, I feel invigorated, refreshed. I don't live near the sea, hundreds of miles away from the nearest beach in fact.......but if I had my choice of where I would spend my time out, then near the sea would be my first choice, because when I am near the ocean I feel as though I have come home, I feel at peace, I feel as though my soul has been healed.
