How To Step by Step

1. Before you begin this project you will need to have all your images in a folder and resize them in Preview. Tools- Adjust size- 4 inches by 5.33 inches.

                                   
                                        

2. Once all your images are resized, you will need to open Photoshop and create a NEW 8 x 10 or 10 x 8 FILE. File- New.

3. Make.sure to title your piece (change the Untitled-2). Make sure the dropdown is inches.

4. Leave the background white for now.

5. With the folder open in your Finder, drag the first image in. And while it is selected, make it smaller, tilt it and move it into a position. Hit the checkmark, enter or return to place it.

6. If you lose the ability to move your image, click on it, use the move tool or hit command + t to Transform it.

7. Continue to add your images. You need to size them individually once they are placed in PS. It is a collage so they do not have to be straight unless you want the image to be. 

7. You can rearrange the layers. Click on the layer and drag the selected one up and down. Use the Move tool to move and Transform tool (command t) to resize and angle.

8. To add color to the background layer, find the Eyedropper (click on i to get it) and click on on image to extract a complimentary color.

9. It will select a color.

10. Find the Paint Bucket (grouped with the Gradient tool) and click on it.

10. Select the background layer if you did not already and click the background layer with the paint bucket and it will paint the background.

11. Save the file as a .PSD and take a screenshot of the finished piece because it will be to BIG or HUGE for Weebly. Post with a title and artist statement. You need 3.

Tuesday May 12th- Creating Weebly Tabs for Multiple Classes

Instructions for today are important in maintaining your Weebly. By request from parents and students, instructions on how to organize your Weebly when you have multiple classes is below. Please watch the short video. Insert an image in the new pages as well.

Just sharing a resource you might like:

Check out the Getty Museum- Getty Unshuttered App
https://www.unshuttered.org/
https://www.weareteachers.com/photo-sharing-app/

Artists are activists.

Artists are powerful. A force to be reckoned with. It’s a simple equation: more art, better world.

Getty Unshuttered is a free photo sharing app from the Getty Museum. It’s built to be a positive community for teen artists to raise their voices for social good. To inspire each other. To grow as artists.

What are you passionate about? What do you want to change? Snap it. Share it. Energize others to act. That’s a virtuous cycle, right?

Creating meaning in a time of social isolation

For young people, Getty Unshuttered can fulfill an important need for connection and purpose during a time of social isolation. The app creates a community that empowers teens to raise their voices for social good. Through photography challenges and virtual peer-to-peer connections, teens are encouraged to share their passions and activate others through photography.

The opportunities are endless. Some teens use their photography to bring awareness to pro-social good. For example, one high schooler used photography to shed light on foster youth. Teens may also find that having a creative outlet to document their social distancing journey is beneficial to their mental health.

Tuesday May 5th

To inspire you, watch the video below.

A couple of tips that will help make this successful and receive CREDIT are the following:

1. Make sure it is super dark when you take the images otherwise they will get grainy and I will know you are not reading the directions.
2. If someone is helping you, make sure they are wearing black so they won't be distracting in the background.
3. You need unique pictures, which means you need more than one light source. However, if you have colored gels or what to color or saran wrap with a marker (messy alert) to change the light color this will count.

If you are really interested in Light Painting and you want to do that for Project 16 and 17 READ the article Light Painting History at  https://lightpaintingphotography.com/light-painting-history/. Make sue to do further research on your Photographer (2 sources).
