Follow Steps 1 through 6 thoroughly.. from tutorials to handing it in
to your teacher.
1.Get familiar with Photoshop CS5 here. Before
we move on, we need to see evidence (through images you manipulated)
that prove you can effectively use layers, lasso
and wand tools, cloning and other image adjustments. (5
images with 5 techniques, 3pts each... 15 marks)
2. Art Hunt and Analysis:
Visit a website for art historical research and images, such as the Artchive.* (more
choices here). Analyze
1 art work that you find particularly moving or engaging.
* Do keep the specific link (Command+click on link to get actual address) and art work information.
(If you need more support for critiqing artworks, Use the document Understanding
art as a guide.)
. (15 marks)
3. Photoshop Trickery Project:
As individuals, selecting one of these works, use Photoshop to convincingly
include a picture of yourself within the found artwork to tell us something
of yourself visually. The image that results might be dramatic, political,
comedic, or autobiographical.
OR
Take a figure from a famous artwork and place him/her into a new and
current context. E.g. Place Michelangelo’s God from the Creation
of Adam into a scene where he is reaching for the a bottle of pop.
The image the art figure is placed in should be a photo that you have
taken. See examples at www.worth1000.com
or for a humorous revisit to art history see Yasumasa
Morimura's Art history project
- Your design should also include the sophisticated use of layers.
- You and a friend will help each other, though both of you must create
your own image manipulation and corresponding web page.
- Save a duplicate of the original image and the link to where you found
it. Links can be captured by simply dragging and dropping to your desktop
the little icon located next to the page's address.
- You will be evaluated in three areas: technical competence and/or
creativity zeal, aesthetic skills, and overall meaning and effectiveness
of the new work.Formatting:
When completed, Saving your file:
- Save your final design a s a .psd file, with all
layers maintained.
- Also, Save your image as a Medium quality .jpg (File/save
for web...).
This will be handed in as a web site... see
# 5 for details.
4. The Reflective Process:
1. In a paragraph or two, discuss the rationale for your decision to
select the master work and why you included your image the way you had
in this process.
2. Make a written report that is either:
a. an inventory on the strengths you gained from the process
b. a reflection on the overall experience
c. explain how might you use this process again, for enjoyment, to communicate,
or to teach
d. write an artistic or poetic response or rant in response to the project.
This statement should in someway expose your inner voice in a meaningful
and relevant way.
Your final Jpeg and reflection will be handed in as a web site..
see next part...
