Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Wednesday! aka its friday

Today we work.

1. Photomontage/Rubric done and saved in N-drive with name and, also, printed!

2. Make sure diplacement/exercise #1 is in the N-drive with your name.

3. Begin Digital Painting.... chose to use a photocopy filter &/or warming/cooling photo-filter or opt to use a transparent layer.  Either way all work needs to be done on a separate layer: not on the background/filter layer.... BE AWARE of your layer window.

Need help: LET ME KNOW.

Tuesday MADNESS

We are going to look at a few different ways to start with a painting composition.

Sketch Filters from our filter gallery assist in outlining the objects in our photograph.
Fill/Adjustment Layers also help in finding a photo filter/fill layer to assist in giving our paintings an undertone.
- warm/cool/etc
Burn/Dodge on paint to highlight/darken without changing color (utilizing tints/shades)

Alrighty... SO lets get everything in line and we can begin.

1.  Photomontage/Rubri in N-drive label with name and also printed to 131, stapled, handed in
2.  Hartman's Creek/Outdoor Photos have been uploaded (bout 50is)
3.  Photograph chosen to work with on Digital Painting.
4.  Exercises on back burner for free time.

Lets Paint.

Tutorial #2

We begin our second tutorial today.
Just like the last you will be working from the Digital Imaging Tutorials page on the blog.
You will be working on a vintage effect and a retro effect.
Both tutorials have a lot to offer.
The catch to these is that you need to provide the photo you will be using.
After Hartman's Creek yesterday and what you have previously taken there should be some to work with.
If there isn't than you need to get on the boat... cuz it may be sailing away without you.

We will check printer today also....
Photomontage/Uuelsmann Rubric will be able to be printed and stapled together.
Use complete sentences and reflect on your work.

Friday is a continuing of our critiques.

Photomontages due Thurs/Friday.

LMK if you need something..
Those unable to make the field trip have until Monday to get that done.
Good Luck.

Hi. Happy Thursday

Lets talk about awesome-ness.
What do you find inspiring?


I LOVE PLACEMENT.
The compliments that come from finding the perfect fit.
The way pieces fit together to produce some kind of peace within the viewing.
It can be beyond chaotic but within the constructed chaos we need to be able to find our attachment...
A place.

Like this photo.
Can we relate?  What do we feel, see, find within this image?
Like this video.
What makes these pieces work?

Find inspiration within your images... if they don't inspire you then take more that DO.

Shadows are important.  Creating an interesting composition is vital!

Moving into Photo-montage Project

Contact sheets need to be printed and edited with the rubric stapled to them by Tomorrow.
Any sheets received after will be considered late.
I have updated in skyward with a few grades.
Mutants will be graded this week but if I was missing anything in the N-drive from you such as: the write up document or the PSD saved mutant that was recorded in skyward.....

We are going to begin working with a variety of way to create a composition and work with layers that we have in our photo-montage to give us depth, variety, and interest.

Today we work on flipping/mirroring and opacity reminders.

Get on the BUS with your photos.... they are what makes everyday in here worthwhile!



Due this week:
Contact Sheets: Tuesday
Exercise 1: Displacement: Friday

**if you did not take the camera quiz please make that up TODAY.
