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.

Working with one-two partners, you will use 1 class block to photograph one another. You will each be responsible for submitting your own photo for a blog POST, these should be two very separate ideas, you are only working as partners to get your photo taken. If you would like to shoot outside school, you of course can do so on your own time.
