OR

Need something new for fun?

I am going to see where everyone is today before I decide on next week's adventure.

Thank you Seniors for a great semester!  Lots of amazing work with interesting perspectives.

Everyone check skyward.  I have made changes since yesterday.  Senior failures must be reported by 4pm.  Be sure you are not on that list.  I will be around after school tonight if you need work time.

Happy Last Friday Seniors!

Check skyward!  I have made changes.  Some of them are drastic.  Advanced Students...hand in pieces with rubric asap!

How to save Wiggles.

Work Day!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday!

Alright,

Having size issues with your wiggle?  Check your resolution.  Set it at 72 dpi.  
How large is your image?  Set it for 11" or less.

Something neat to look into.... WE have done some of this through photoshop and using 

texture application and displacement layers.

WE ARE going to hit something up today quick...
It is a pretty neat feature and something we may need to create into a full blown project:  

Just an Effect.

It kind of goes like this....HDR effect

This is a series of 5 images that I took at Hartman.  I adjusted the exposure with 2 images 
under exposed and 2 over exposed.The middle image looks like this...

After adjusting the photo using merge to HDR Pro, the image looks like this...

Try it out using my pictures or yours.  It's lots of fun!  Turn in what you come up 

with into the HDR folding in the 'N' Drive.

Time to WIGGLE

Time to WIGGLE

WE ARE GOING TO WIGGLE!

These are sample images.. you can use them right now... in the N-drive.

This is what we do with them!

1. edit and layer for consistency
2. animate.. a neverending dance of whatever it may be you would like to wiggle about

and.. some other stuff..

Last semester's wiggles are under the tabs, so check them out!

Monday is 3D text day:

Lets jump into 3d effect with PS6!

Something fun... and can definitely turn from not only text but also in moving from flat
 images to 3-dimensional..
AND.. yes, there is animation through the use of the timeline! :)

3D Intro tut on the digital tutorials page.

Friday!

Digital Painting Reminders:

-Copy your original image and hide it.

-paint on a new layer either above your copy or below it. (if you are using the photocopy method, remember to delete the white in the photocopy layer if you are painting under that layer)

-make new layers as you change colors or as it makes sense to.  This makes it easier to edit your work.

-merging layers is not requires, but if you merge layers only do so once you are 100% confident you will not need to edit anything.

-try different brushes to get different effects

-create light, medium and dark values of colors

-THINK about the impressionist painters.  THINK about the light.

Wednesday!

Wednesday! 

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/etcBurn/Dodge on paint to highlight/darken without changing color
(utilizing tints/shades)

And now...we work.

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

2. Hartman Creek Contact sheets/rubric handed in

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.... PAY ATTENTION to your 

layer window.

Need help: LET ME KNOW.
