End of Marking Period
October 30, 2009 |
|
Good Morning Everybody-
I'm happy to report I got the OK to return to work on Monday! I am looking forward to seeing you all and getting everything worked out regarding assignments and grades. For today, I would like you to open your work and do a File-->Save As-->jpg for each assignment and then attach them in an email document and send them to me. Those of you that understand the process will need to assist your classmates. I am enclosing a word document to assist. I use Photoshop CS3 at home and you use CS4. I am hoping the procedure is the same.
If you have not worked during my absence, you have made an unacceptable choice. Based on your responses and emails to me, I know that most of you have worked hard to complete the assignments. For those of you who have consistently worked but simply ran out of time, I will work with you to reach an agreeable solution.
At this point, there are simply too many assignments for me to print them all before Wednesday, when my grades are due. I will print your work if you will be taking it home. As I look at the work you will be sending me as attachments in your emails, I will also be asking to print some of the more outstanding pieces. I will not be printing everything.
I look forward to seeing you Monday. Feel free to send any questions or concerns. Look at the attached document for instructions on converting a file to jpg formula.
Have a good weekend.

Hello Everyone
October 22, 2009 |

I wanted to let you know I am ok. THANK YOU for your get well messages, questions and concerns. Let me ease your minds.
1) I developed an infection in my leg that required minor surgery. I REALLY can not wait to be back at school but I am not sure when that will be. Let's hope very soon!
2) Your marking period grades will be based on your interim grade plus the additional work I have seen you doing. I would like to include everything through the multi-color collage in m.p.1's grade. I am working on having your work printed and sent home to me for grading. I promise you all that your grades will not suffer b/c of my illness. I am very proud of the work that the majority of you are producing. Please don't worry!
3)Continue to email me your questions and I will respond. I am still here to help so feel free to email at any time.
Thanks for your concern and understanding. Hope to see you soon!!

If you have completed the monochromatic collage, please begin to assemble ideas for a colorful collage. The idea is to incorporate all colors of the color wheel. Look at the examples.
You will be creating a multi- color collage that utilizes the full spectrum of color. In addition, you will incorporate feathering, opacity, filters and layer styles into your final composition.
Look at the rubric before you begin. |

Work for 10/13/09
October 13, 2009 |
|
Everyone should be working on the monochromatic collage. Take your time. Remember:
1. When searching for images, look for those with the bigger dimensions or larger file size. The larger the file, the more usable it becomes. We don't want to use pixelated imagery. To see what something will look like go to View--> Actual pixels.
2. To re-size an image: Edit --> Free Transform. Remember to hold the 'shift' key and drag from the corner.
3. Remember to incorporate feathering and layer opacity.

Monochromatic Collage
October 2, 2009 |
|
In this assignment, you will be creating an 11”x17” composition that showcases your understanding of the concept of monochromatic. Your composition will demonstrate an understanding of selecting clear imagery and utilizing the feathering and opacity options in Photoshop.
Before you begin, please define the terms 'monochromatic' and 'collage'. Additionally, please select one student example from the photo album labeled 'monochromatic collage' and tell me why you selected it, what makes it successful to you and any questions you may have regarding how the artist achieved certain effects in Photoshop. This information should be written on a piece of paper and submitted to me before you begin working on your own collage! |

Be sure to save any important work in your documents folder. At the very least, you should have completed the Filter Exercise as well as the handout on the Photoshop terms and concepts. I hope you have created some extra credit work and took notes so that you can explain what you did to create it. Look over the classjump calendar for the week and be sure you have been using your time well.
Have a good weekend and I will see you Monday. Congratulations to the Football team! |

Rotational Symmetry
September 17, 2009 |
|
In this assignment, you will create an 11" x 17" composition in Adobe Photoshop through manipulating image orientation and color to create a symmetrical composition.
For today, I want you to look closely at past student work in the photo albums to the left. See if you can tell what the original photograph is for each example and then begin to come up with some possible ideas for your own composition. Collect at least 5 possible images and save them in your documents file.
Remember to look at the rubric for the assignment but do not begin the assignment yet. |

Please use today to finish up any work in progress. I know you have used your class time wisely and will have some interesting compositions to show me. We will be printing the Filter Exercises and some of the extra credit work you have been doing. Do not expect to print every piece you create. On the other hand, there is nothing more exciting than a student who is using their class time to really learn about the program and creates an interesting, exciting composition. Looking forward to seeing what you have been doing! See you all soon-
