You have been practicing choosing and blending colors.
To begin your painting,take the Hartman Creek photo of your choice, and use these new painting skills to create painted layers of the picture on new layers.
I would advise everyone to paint an area until you are happy, and then create a new layer to start painting another area. The layers allow you to edit as you go without disrupting everything.
Review the last tutorial and pay attention to how he handles the layers of color.
When you are done, you will have a painted version of your photograph.

Let's try it again!
Threshold...
What's Threshold?
It is the reduction of a photo to straight black and white. As the artist you can change
the balance of black to white in your composition. We will be manipulating the contrast
balance and adding color as we go.

Steps.
Preparing your image:
-Open your image in Photoshop>copy the entire image.
-Select Open New>be sure that transparent background is selected.
-Paste photo to the new document
1. copy bkgrd
2. image>adjustments>threshold-slide the contrast so there is a little white
3. magic wand- select white>select similar>delete
4. select inverse
5. begin color scheme: what are you looking for with color in the image?
6. paintbrush>color>ctrl D= deselect
7. repeat
-slide the new copied background to the top layer
-adjust the threshold with a little more white selected each time
-this type of paint is best with many color layers. Aim for 10 or more layers.
-Seniors can let this one go or try it again depending on your time frame :)
This is great intro to digital painting. Choose an image from your Hartman Creek shoot
for this piece. Choose a color scheme that creates the mood you would like to convey
with this piece. Cool colors are quiet and melancholy, while warm colors are excitingand cheerful.

Digital Painting
There is no practice for this tutorial. Between this video and friday's demo, you should ready to select an image from your Hartman Creek contact sheet and start your painting. Remember that you do not paint on the photo layer! Your photo must be removeable.
Check skyward. The gradebook is basically complete for the year. Are you missing anything?
Many people did not turn in their contact sheets for portraits or for Hartman Creek. Your assignments are worth only half credit without a graded contact sheet!
Lesson Five: Putting it all together

On Friday several assignment were due. Very few people bothered to turn them in.
The threshold assignments are completely graded. Three students did an outstanding job, and created many layers of color. Others did a less than minimum job and received a failing grade on this assignment. It is not a difficult assignment, but it required many layers to truly complete the piece.
The Fine Art Trio also had very few people turn it in. This is strange, because so many people turned in the in progress version of the assignment. Some people did not turn in the correct format of the assignment. Please double check the blog and what you turned in.
Quite a few people are failing at this time.
Digital Painting Video tutorial
1-As a class, you will watch the video for this tutorial.
2-As you have time this hour, read the information that accompanies the video. It will help you setup a new document, and review information.
3-Complete the homework section listed at the bottom of the tutorial page. To do this, you will need to make sure your your drawing tablet is plugged in. Take a moment to plug your tablet into the back of the computer. Many of them are disconnected, because it is clumsy to have them plugged in front.
4-Get a stylus from Mrs. Duchac. Have fun practicing.
5-All styluses must be returned at the end of the hour each day, or you will not be able to use them.
Lesson one: Using stylus and tablets, palettes and brushes,
keyboard short cuts
HDR- there are great images in your Hartman Creek contact sheets that are ready for the HDR treatment. The HDR final images are due Friday unless Mrs Duchac sees you need more time. To find the original tutorial for HDR, type HDR into the search in the blog. It will select all the entries that include HDR in the blog entry. I am looking forward to seeing these. I will ask a few of you to print them for display around school.

Fine Art Canvases...
this should definitely work in a series...
minimum of 3 canvases working as a series piece created of only textures/brushes
with the use of color/composition/variety/repetition... MAKE IT GREAT.
Rubric will be in the N-drive and we will follow the same kind of routine.

Monday
I looked at the progress on the Fine Art Trios and saw some nice pieces in the works! I will be selecting collections to be printed for the display cases up by AV throughout the week.
Only about half the class turned in their pieces. I will be awarding points to those people.
On Wednesday, I will be introducing the first of the nature painting techniques. I think you will enjoy it.
Keep up the great work! The trios will be due on Friday.

I am excited to see your progress on the Fine Art Trios. The Google turn-in folder is ready. Share jpegs so it is easy for me to see. I will share feedback. These will be due next Friday.
On Monday, I will have instructions about how to start one of the nature painting techniques. If there is a tutorial, I will post that as well.
I will be focusing on getting assignments graded for this class next. It is a slow go for me, so it will not be instantly. If you are missing assignments, get them turned in. Don't use the N Drive at the moment.
