Physically Manipulated Photographs high school art

Photoshop is a neat tool, BUT going old school and printing out a photograph and attacking it with a scratch tool and bottles of ink-that has fun written all over it.

Another outside-the-box skill building assignment. The mannequins have returned as props. Below are the results. Sorry for some of the glare.

The tools

A quick sample from my beginning photography class Grade 9 and 10.

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.
