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.
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

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 exciting
and cheerful. 

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.
