February 7 - 11
Monday
- Time to start your 1st project ... a collage! This is a project where you will use a minimum of 5 pictures (prints, on CD, on flashdrive, emailed to yourself). You need to figure out some way to make those pictures fit together on a full size page ... either 8 1/2 x 11 or 11 x 8 1/2. Be sure to use a variety of selection/removal techniques ... make your collage unique and creative! HINT: Use the feather option when you are making a selection to make a "soft" selection.

- Work on collage
- We'll start adding the images to the wiki today.
- FIRST: Change the resolution of your collage to 72 and the size to 4 x 6 or 6 x 4. Save the new collage as a jpg with the name collage72_cb (use your initials instead of cb). See the page in the sidebar about Adding Images to the Wiki
- Add comments to your classmates pages. Give constructive critiques! Don't just type, "Good job."
- Start thinking about your next project, in which you will create an imaginary creature by combining parts from several images. Examples from the past include: Father time (made up of various clocks), Tiger Woods (Tiger Woods in the woods with his body as a tree trunk), Softball person (body is ball field, hands are gloves, etc), Apple Jack (apple with a jack for arms/legs), a Catoe (Tomato body with cat head, legs, etc). BE CREATIVE!
