Avatar

Today you will begin creating an Avatar version of yourself.

First, you will need a photo of yourself from Photobooth. This should be a head and shoulders shot, not your whole body. We will mostly be working on your face, so that should be the main part of your photo.

Once you have your photo, open it in PhotoShop. Skip ahead to step 3. You may work on your own, or follow the steps along with me.

Thursday!

Today you will continue working on the Warhol Tutorial and the Coffee Cup tutorial. If you finish, post them to your blog.

Warhol Tutorial:
There should be no gaps of color at the bottom of your image - Your photo should go to the BOTTOM of the rectangle.
EACH rectangle should be a different color, no repeats.
EACH photo should be a different color, no repeats.

Remember - If you come to the play this weekend, you get 5 points of extra credit!

Your Warhol Tutorial is due on your blog TODAY.
Your coffee cup is due on your blog on MONDAY.

WARHOL

Today we will be working on an Andy Warhol style composition.

The FIRST thing that you need to do is take a photo of yourself (and ONLY yourself) in Photobooth. You have the first 5 minutes of class to do this. THEN open that photo in photoshop.

You may either work independently (silently), or follow along with me step by step. If you choose to work on your own, and you get stuck, you will need to wait until the class catches up with you to ask a question, so if you are unsure of your photoshop abilities, follow along with me.

TOMORROW I will not be in class. You will continue working on this tutorial and your coffee cup.

Tomorrow, EVERYONE will begin photoshop together, so your poster should be almost finished. Your final due date for the posters to be posted on your blog will be this Thursday, November 8th. However, we will have some other activities to complete in class, so you may need to allot some time during study hall to finish your poster.
