Create an image (a photograph) that is staged in such a way that the viewer can learn something about you just by looking at it. Much like the American Express Ad's we viewed in class.

Favorite Teacher Portrait

Ms. Goia, WHS

Take some nice portraits of your favorite teacher. Edit and post your best portrait and write a paragraph reflection in academic language explaining why you like and admire this teacher. Give details, reasons and examples as to why you chose this teacher.

1. Email the teacher and explain your assignment. Get their permission to be photographed, let them know it needs to be done as soon as possible. You must make arrangements with the teacher on your own time, or during the block you have this class.
2. Think about flattering positions, angles like birds eye, worms eye and how that effects the overall subject. 
3. Once the photo has been uploaded to Photoshop, EDIT IT! Do some skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye bag softening- make your favorite teachers portrait flattering!
4. Write your paragraph in WORD so that you have the benefit of spelling and grammar check. Before you post it, have a friend proofread it.  

Typography Portrait inspired by Robert Reed

Assignment: Surreal Photo Montage

Due: 

© Cassy Siena

HOW to COMPLETE PROJECT:

1. 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.

2.In your artist statement describe the types of images you used and how manipulated them to support your theme. Use a minimum of 3 original images (internet photo use is optional).

Title: "Mirror to the other Side"

© your name here...

And of course, as always, an artist statement. Use this area to explain describe, analyze and interpret your image in comparison with what you had planned, problems you ran into, etc. . example below:

Title: Surrealistic Theme 

For my surreal photomontage I wanted a self portrait. I used a mirror, using one image of the back of my head and another of my face in a mirror. In Photoshop, I partially cracked the mirror, each little section of the cracked mirror has another image of something nice and warm and outside partially see through so that my image is still visible through it. The other side of the mirror has no cracks or anything. This represents me in that the half that is intact will be reality, this is me now and what i look like. The cracked half is broken and shows where I want to be and I what I want but cant necessarily get or have so a 'broken' thought I guess.

Assignment: Multiply Yourself!

Multiply Yourself!

Creating this assignment is a lot easier than it looks! First though, you'll need an idea. In class, we will be learning HOW to layer your photos and create one image, but outside of class you will need to take the time to create the photographs.

Taking the Pictures

To make clones of yourself, put your camera on a tripod and take multiple pictures of yourself in different spots within the same scene. If your camera has a timer (shown next), start the timer, and then move in front of the camera so it takes a picture of you. Shoot a minimum of you 3x.

Choose a different pose for each picture. you can take pictures and then move in front of the camera before the shutter clicks. try to make your “characters” look like they’re interacting with each other by their facial expressions. Click the below images to download them so you can try it yourself!

Opening the Pictures as Layers

Open the files in Photoshop as layers, with one on top of the other. You can open multiple pictures as layers by selecting File | Scripts | Load Files Into Stack. You’ll see your photos as multiple layers within a single picture, as shown next. You can use more than two pictures.

DUE DATE:

You'll need to have your photos Wednesday, in case you have to re-shoot. TAKE MORE THAN YOU NEED in case a few images do not fit.
I would like EVERYONE to post their final image to their blog followed by your original images by FRIDAY.

HINT! The more creative your narrative, the more successful the project!

Photo walk: Googly Eyes

Draw and cut some Googly Eyes from white paper. Cut out all around the black edge and the tape needs to be hidden behind the eyes so you cannot see the tape. We'll take a walk around the neighborhood (do at home if you're absent). Take at least 15 images that give personality to different, non-living things. Can you find life-like qualities on signs, pipes, chairs, walls, etc.?

You will bring all your images into your in house camera app, and narrow it down to your best 6 photos and edit them. With your 6 EDITED images, you will create a COLLAGE in BeFunky.com or pixlr.com because PicCollage will add an unwanted watermark to your images.

Upload it to a google classroom AND your site (title: Googly Eyes)

This is HW- and should be complete by Monday.

SELF PORTRAIT ILLUSTRATION

Take a self-portrait using the camera, tripod and self timer.

Make a new document 8×12  300 resolution.

Put your self-portrait within the new document.

Put a blank layer on top of your photograph, and lock the photo layer.

Use the pencil to trace yourself and then use brushes and colors to color in your illustration. Consider using skin and clothing tones to trace, so you are not completely outlined in black, if that is not the look you are going for.

Consider overlaying a duplicate layer with Posterise filter, to highlight the different areas of value and use shades of that color to make portrait less flat and give it more dimension.

Add a background to your illustration layer and post to your site as a .jpeg, with a list of 10 words to describe yourself. Copy and submit to Google Classroom on a doc as well.
