Painting Exercise

All students will complete a small sample painting for class. It will be graded. Once this sample painting is complete, you may either animate of paint.

Exercise:
-Use your seed character in full if it is simple or just the shoulders and head, if it is complex.
-Bring it into Photoshop and create new layer. Use the paint brush to "sketch" the image in the new layer.
-Use the wacom tutorials to set up your drawing tablet.
-Next watch the tutorials for layer masks and grouping. Using your photoshop sketch try out the techniques the tutorials focus on.
-Watch part I-V for painting techniques. Try out the techniques as the tutorial recommends.
-Work on the seed character applying the painting tips.

Painting Requirements:

1. Complete the painting exercise.
2. A preliminary sketch or personal photograph is required to be turned in before final painting can begin.
3. Composition needs to be addressed. Review the Composition video if needed. Is there a center of interest? Is the composition complete with depth that shows the environment? 
4. Once a final composition has been graded and approved, you may begin your final painting.

Animation Students

1. Write the story for 1 minute(or more) animation (1560 frames at 26 fps). This will be turned in before moving forward. There are 2 scripts in the Google to use for writing the story. Share the script with me once it is finished,
2. Next take that story and place it in the story board pages from the Google Drive. These will also be turned in for grading.
3. Once the script and story boards are complete, you may start the animation.
4. At this time, Photoshop is the only animation program available on our computers.

Portrait Lab Time and Wrap-up
