The strongest technical aspect of this art piece is how the white spaces of the pictures feel like an object is displaced. I like how I did the blades on the images, the polaroid kinda of fades into the blade. I feel like I can improve on the background but I wanted to do more of a tribute to the Marines in the photo. Not many people know about Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) but I didn't know want else to do in the background. It might if look better if the background was lighter or matched like the purple you did in your photo.
The easy part about this project was surprisingly making a part of the image come out of the photo. I thought is was going to be harder but I found the difficult part was making controlled chaos. I had no idea what to do in the background for this project. I added the two patterns of MARPAT but I like I should have blended them more creatively. The two other parts of the background I added patches and silhouettes and did the opposite color to contrast the pattern.
I demonstrated this art activity by popping out the nose, tail, mid section, and two rotors. I wanted to feel like it was more plopped down photos on a surface so the middle is white and I added a shadow outline so the images don't feel flat compared to the background. If I could do this again I would try to find an image that the background is more easier to work with than an open world and gives off more color.
Great job using the lasso tool to create the illusion of Polaroids overlapping with something breaking the plane. I like the military inspired background but feel the symbols look like they were just placed in the negative spaces. Maybe they needed to be smaller so you could a pattern with them or not use them and just have the camouflage and 2 layers of color blending together to form one unified background.
