Final Grades

Terrific job on the final projects and critique. I have one last post for you.

Please pick up your series of 3 from the art office by Friday 12/18 at noon. I have your final project grade rubric with your project.

All of your project grades are updated on D2L. If there is anything missing you will need to let me know by Monday as I am posting the final letter grade to web advisor.

Several of you still have cameras out and if they are not returned they will hold your financial aid.

Have a great holiday break. I have enjoyed working with each of you.

Thanks,

Nadya Wiedrich Preszler

Masterpiece Study

Please scan your masterpiece and open in photoshop. You will need to have a partner photograph your face to match the angles of the painting. Think about lighting and facial expression.

Create a selection of your face and save it as an alpha channel. Correct the color using the techniques we have learned in class. Levels, hue saturation, opacity, blending modes to correctly overlay your face on the portrait.

Have your piece posted on the blog for Tuesday. We will be discussing your final project on Tuesday before break.

Surrealistic Photomontage Theme

Assignments for Tuesday October 13

1. Bring an image to scan from a magazine or an image from the web of a location and a image of yourself for the I'd rather be... assignment.  We will post these on your blog for Thursday October 15.

2. You will need to decide on a theme for your photomontage project. I would like you to write a paragraph based on a theme idea that you have. Some examples of themes could be a memory, dream, social issue, self portrait, and or traveling.

Describe the types of images that you are thinking of using and how you are going to manipulate them to support your theme. Bring in 3 original images, one scanned image and one image from a website. Your photomontage is due 10/22.
