I edited two pictures from Pixabay. As you can see, they are grey themed. The reason why they are grey themed is because sometimes you can have problems and the solutions are complicated. And sometimes, these solutions are not as easy as black and white but sometimes grey. During these times, I wanted to tell people that even when the whole world is black and white, you can be grey. The color on only some things is because during these times, I want people to focus on people important to you and yourself. Cause no one can hurt you more than yourself.

I’m glad this turned out like this. I used a technique our teacher Mrs. Kristen tough us. It’s a black and white picture with certain colors popping through. I chose warm colors like red and orange to pop out so it can contrast with the black and white background.

This picture is one I took during the Week Without Walls school trip to Mandalay. These are traditional puppets, and since they are very colorful, I decided to do this on them. Some of them have lots of warm colors on them but some barely have any.

What I did was have two layers. One original one with color and another black and white. Then if you use the eraser tool, the black and white layer will go away and the colored layer will come through. So you can pick and choose which parts of the picture will be colored and others to be black and white. I did this on GIMP which is a photo editing program we all used.
