This image really stood out to me emotionally because it is showing two individuals holding hands in the symbolism of standing together and being strong and there for each other during difficult times. This photo is one of many that show women and girls fighting for justice against sexual violence in Congo. I get emotional when I look at this image because knowing how many women have had to go through sexual violence is heartbreaking. 


The image above shows visually expresses my connection to human beings and the world around me. This image was taken this past June while I was on a research trip in Costa Rica with my fellow classmates and teachers. There were only a total of nine of us that went on this trip. Six students including myself and three teachers including my AP Environmental Science teacher. In this photo, we were walking down a trail in Liberia on our way to a farm. 
The reason I chose this photo was not only because of the people in it but also because of where I was and what I did on the day this photo was taken. To start, the two friends in this photo, Laiken, and Sofia, are two of my closest friends today. This trip altered us as human beings in the best way possible. We went through many different things throughout this trip from things that we saw around us to the things that we did each day. I will never forget the farm that we went to that day and everything that we saw.

 #1 Blog      Hi! My name is Maeve Hydock, I am from Pennsylvania, and I live right outside Philadelphia. I am a Freshman at The University of Tampa and I am currently majoring in entrepreneurship. I may switch my major to marketing but I do enjoy the business field. A fun fact about me is that I have a dog named Franklin. I enjoy traveling, going on runs, painting, and cooking. I recently went to Costa Rica with a few of my friends and it was the coolest place I have been. I go on runs almost every day on Bayshore when I am at school. I paint a lot on different-sized canvases, and there are a lot of my paintings hanging up in my apartment. I am also always cooking meals for my roommates and me. We make all different kinds of food from seafood to tacos and pasta. I also enjoy listening to music, I listen to all kinds of music, but I enjoy house music the most.      I am definitely excited to take this class. I do not have many feelings about the c...

Animation - Maeve Hydock

  Artist Statement:  In my animation "Blossoms and Sunshine," I wanted to show the cool journey of a flower blooming, all made in Photoshop. Starting with the timeline, I brought together a bunch of images to tell the story of a flower growing. I embedded each individual image into photoshop. I used the quick selection tool to cut out each piece just right, and with the brush tool, I switched up from white to black to make that growing effect of the flower. Every image got its own layer, and I grouped some together to stay organized by making a folder. Masking was key for making everything blend smoothly. My goal was to make something that feels real and full of life, like you're watching a real flower bloom right in front of you. It's a simple, chill animation that I hope makes people feel as happy as a sunny day with flowers everywhere.

 Video One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZACwQzj7TQ  This video was very interesting because he made everything seem pretty easy even though I know it may be harder when I start using the tools. However, he was able to explain it in a pretty good way in a short amount of time. To start the first tool that I find easy to use is the Lasso tool. I will use this to cut things out of an image that I do not want there. The patch tool seemed a little more difficult since it replaced something in the image. He made it seem pretty easy to use like I said above, however, I feel like when I actually use it, it will be more difficult.  Video Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5uh5TCXcU  In the video, what I found interesting was how he went through a short tutorial on a lot of the tools. He also explained them in further detail and if they're more advanced or not. The move tool seems pretty easy. It does basically what the name says it does. You can move things...
