There are four assignments in the Photoshop unit the quality of the level of creativity and experimentation that you bring to it is up to you.  I have provided a shot by shot tutorial in SMART Notebook for the animal assignment.  See attached. I expect you to rely heavily on youtube and other tutorial sites.  After you leave this class you will need to be comfortable looking for information yourself online.  You will find the tutorials easier to follow if you find one create using Photoshop CS3 as that is what we have. Assignments : Simple merge – to do well you need to pay attention to blending the two images well – work on feathering and colour correcting. Merge two animals. Be inspired by clicking here.  You can also choose to do an animal and a fruit etc…. Do a photo touch-up – use skills to change eye colour, whiten the teeth and make the skin flawless.  You are going to do what all magazine layout artists do – take a real person and turn them into a supermodel. Alternatively, you can add bruising, darken and yellow the teeth and add wrinkles. How to change eye colour, Enhancing the eye, and Whiten teeth Turn someone into something else.  Example: avatar, lizard woman, Hulk, zombie, vampire…. The key in this assignment is to really show off.  I am looking for skin colour change, liquefying, blurring, blending, reshaping. Cartoon yourself in CS3, Create an Avatar and Creating crazy creepy supernatural  eyes  

All courses:

Due to the importance of being and active contributing members of a group for many of the projects marks will be earned based on the days present and working on a project.  For example, if a project takes ten class days to complete and a student only attends five they will receive 50% of the mark that the group received.

 All marks are based on a scale where a “C” indicates that work is sufficient but needs in improvement; a “B” is proficient; and an “A” indicates exceptional work. Students will have many opportunities for feedback and to improve their work before they hand in a final project.

 Supplies: All courses need a USB, headphones, binder, paper, pen and maybe colouring stuff.
