I used Brightness& Contrast to lighted up. Then I used the curve to make it looks more nature.

I tried Hue Saturation and shadows, but it does not do to much for my image. 

Lillian F. Schwartz

Although I noticed that there was classmates already wrote about LillianF. Schwartz, but I felt like her work does catch my attention the most. She was born in 1927 in America. During the World War II, she was training in anatomy and biology. Both of this education background would be find in her most famous work Mona/Leo(1987).

Comparing to other people who believing that the Mona Lisa is a self-portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci, Schwartz showed this idea using her anatomy and biology knowledge. Although she made none of this two work, the idea of combination proved her imagination. Besides, I believe this work showed the private idea of “Photoshop”. PS was not developed until 1988. Lillian Schwartz first noticed that the play with the existing artwork with computer could also create a new one.

Today, people would universally recognize her as a pioneer of computer-mediated art. But the most important lesson I learned from her experience and this work is that any education background which seems not directly connected to the art could left a interesting mark in artists’ work.
