Grade 8 Photoshop Collage Middel School Art

Objective: Composing, editing photos and collage.

We will be continuing developing our photo editing skills using the ADJUSTMENTS and FILTERS in Photoshop. We will learn how to combine several images together.

Steps:
1. Compose and take several photographs of hands, mouths, eyes, and noses. You may focus on a theme such as "hands" or it can be a conbo. Choose the best 15.
2. Upload the 15 photos and edit using ADJUSTMENTS and FILTERS in PS.
3. Select the COMMAND+ALT+I and change your photos to 72 DPI and whatever size you want your photos to be. I wouldn’t go past 8 inches on any side. See my sizing example.
4. Create a new file and choose a custom size 40 inches x 40 inches. See my creating a new document example.
5. Select all your files and drag to your new document and place one by one. See my placing a file example. Each file will be a layer
6. Select the layer you want to move. See selecting a layer example.
7. When you have finished arranging all your images/layers save as a JPEG file and submit.

Photograph experiments in high school art

If you have ever been a chair of a school accreditation committee then I feel your pain. It isn't much fun herding cats and hunting down documents. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

My high school students printed out their photos and were given access to scratching tools, x-acto knives, origami paper, and magazines. The objective was to physically manipulate the photos. Most were scannable while the more blurry ones with glare were taken by camera since they have pull-out areas. Enjoy these non-photoshopped images.

Somewhat 3D with the hands coming forward.
