ABOUT ME :)

     Hi! I'm Ella Riordan. I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. My first feelings of this class were nervous and unsure. I would say I am not good with photoshop. I would also say I'm not the best with technology, but I enjoy being creative and I want to learn. I took a digital photo art class my sophomore year of high school but that's about it. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family and I like to be social. I also enjoy working out, going to the pool, going out to dinner, and traveling. A fun fact about me is that I have 35 first cousins because my dad is the youngest of nine. I enjoy going to my grandmas weekly and seeing everyone. I also have three siblings, two older and one younger. My family owns a construction company so I'm currently building my new house. This will be my fourth time moving.

    Something I have accomplished in my life is graduating high school and attending college. I'm proud for how hard I worked. Though I have struggled through more difficult classes, I was able to manage my time well. I did high school cheer and gymnastics. I currently work at the local boutique in my hometown and enjoy it. I'm looking forward to becoming better with using the different types of software that come with taking this class. I'm also excited to push myself out of my comfort zone with my creativity and seeing what I can come up with.

 Original Images Used:  Animated GIF: Artist Statement: The theme for my animation that I chose was "light your own path". I chose this because I wanted to show a strong image of independence. I also used a flame because a match flame starts at small and then gets bigger. That shows how small steps can lead to big and successful outcomes. It is also my first semester in college and being in college far away from home really gave me a sense of independence. It is on me to take care of myself and my education.

Somewhere

  Artist Statement: My favorite TV show is Gilmore Girls which is why I chose it for my project. I have rewatched it multiple times. The show makes you feel connected with the characters because you know so much about their personal lives. I am very close with my family and sisters. Using this show for my "Somewhere" project felt right. I also chose the scene where they are taking a family picture after the character Rory's graduation.
