MUTANTS....

If you feel as if I am throwing some of you out to the wolves...
I am.
Unfortunately... I like to mix it up.  I can't handle lecturing you about things that won't make sense in the beginning, so lets build your background knowledge and start getting acquainted with PHOTOSHOP!

Logging in.
H-drive set up.
N-drive set up.
and maneuvering through it all..

Starting and SAVING.
SUPER important.

Tools: the beginning.
Selection Tools.  Feathering adjustments.  Move tool.
These help you build your layers and your Mutant.

In case you were wondering:
Mutant defined as 1. An individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from mutation
-freedictionary.com

Picture Day!

We are going to jump on and work on the PS interface with a couple of easy and simple tools to get you going.... you will be able to explore filters and some manipulating: liquify.

Pictures need to get takes for our Mutant Project.

We will also review a bit of copyright info.

PHOTOSHOP is awesome... but remember, like everything, the more you work with the program the BETTER you become.
I am showing you introduction tools today to start you on your journey.... but your motivation is what will make your journey AWESOME!!!

Copyright/Fair Use FUN!

We are learning about copyright and fair use... and ways to work with it but also the realization of how to simply avoid it in our work.

Plagiarism 
is theft of another person's writings or ideas

Stealing is wrong.


A video....  because it makes the point.

It deals with video a bit more and uploading online... but we associate it with digital work since that is WHAT WE DO.

A reading because I want to know you understand it by filling out this worksheet... that I will be giving you.


I will also have a fun hoot for some of you that will make you end on a smile....  this may be a rerun for few of you from last year, but you will still smile!

Eyebrows.  I love these two.

LHS Blitz on bullying.... this is something that I was hoping to get in and I am in need of some help with this.  I figured I could work and do editing this summer but I need stories... and that is what I am asking from you...  Questions will be on board and paper-n-markers on teacher stations..... We will talk about this.


VIDEO!
LHS stop motion video..... what do we think?  Jordyn always has good ideas!!!  I was kind of thinking we could use Summer's idea she had in her video... just a thought.  WE could divide and conquer in two days.... all we need is some shoes, some cameras, and some time.... (WE HAVE ALL OF THESE!)
Map of LHS and we will go....


ALSO:  Jordan A if you are reading this... I have not talked to Sue yet and will be emailing you soon about summer work with Spray Paint!
