Tuesday. Work.

Another work day.
Use these to the fullest and remember if you need images that you are able to get during this hour you can also do that if I feel it is appropriate and you are using time wisely.
I will be connecting with some of you about grades and missing assignments, so please check skyward.

Thursday is Critique day!

Love Critique Day.

**Remember this is PINK week in support of our Red Raider Football Team's awesome fundraiser to support the UW Cancer Center in Wisconsin Rapids!!!
$2 wristbands from the football players!!!  THINK PINK!

Monday. Work.

Its time.
We need time and it needs to be used wisely.
There has been a lot we have been seeing/doing/trying... and what you have this week is time to work on your Photo-Montage and you have me to help you at and whenever you need it!

I am working tonight on grades.  They will be getting in and available for you to see what you are missing.
Can work still get it... Yes.
If.....  and I mean IF. you hand in work to me that looks like my dog, OZ could have done a better job than what you are asking me to correct for you... I will be one upset cookie.

That is our pact.
I don't want to waste your time and I don't want you to waste my time.
I respect each of you and your creative, good juju.
Please acknowledge that of me also.

HAPPY MONDAY.... digitographers.

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.

Recap, Refresh, and Review

Lets remind ourselves about yesterday.

Shadows are important.  Creating an interesting composition is vital!
Search for differences.  Work to find images that relate and compliment each other.

Hartman's Creek Field trip will be reviewed also today.
$7 for bus.  Bring lunch/grill out.

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.
