Art 1 : Photoshop Head Swap

Obama's face on Bush's body

 Art 1 tried out a fun mini project today in Ms. Sudkamp's class.  Most of these students have never used Photoshop before and are just starting to understand the editing software.  Using this awesome tutorial the students became familiar with layers, cropping, blending, and moving within photoshop.  Hopefully more to come soon!

Stenciled Self Portrait

Art 1 classes we have been working on stenciled self portraits.  After painting our background images (based off of non-objections pieces) we edited photos of each students using Pixlr.com.  They changed the contrast and exposure of each image.  In doing so they were able to filter their images to the "art poster" seting. Using the projector we traced the images to create our own stencils. 

 Layering the pieces helped show the positive and negative space.  This project was successful for all ranges of art students.
