Friday Final Project

Today we will watch as many Power Point presentations and share as many Photoshop Albums as we can.

When you are finished, please take a moment, either in class or at home to take the student survey digitally. Your responses are anonymous and confidential.

I have had a great time seeing your photos and watching you work. You are fantastic teachers, helpers, collaborators, artists and students. Keep taking photos and work in as many different applications as possible in order to become a self-reliant and resourceful individual.

Project # 16 Print & Mat

Today we will celebrate with Watermelon and outside continuous shots after we work on our final project in class. We will be finishing the Print & Mat project by color printing your favorite photo and cutting a mat.

Mat cutting:

1. Assemble your materials (metal ruler, X-Acto knife, pencil, mat board, photo)

2. Measure, Measure, Measure for the cuts that will make the frame. First find the side edge you want to start from and measure 11/2 or 2 inches in from that edge making 2 pencil marks around 3 or 4 inches from each other. Connect the marks with a straight line. Second do the same from the top with the same measurement. Connect the marks with a straight line. Then, measure from the bottom a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch larger than your side and top edge. Make two marks, then connect the marks with a straight line.

Helpful Hint: Use your ruler for every line and every mark. Measure very carefully to the line, and watch the end of your ruler. Start from the line mark at 0 not the edge of the ruler.

Finally, lay your picture down and "eye" the final edge. How many inches do you need to cut the opening so that your picture is exposed the way you want. Measure the inside of the opening and make two marks, draw a straight line, then add the same measurement (11/4 or 1 1/2 ) and draw a line. The outside line is the edge of your mat frame, and the inside line is the cutting line.

Now you may cut.

3. CUTTING Use the metal ruler and hold it down with your hand. Keep fingers away from the edge, and use the mat knife to cut. Start at the corners and make marks through the matboard.

When you have all marks carefully made, turn the matboard over and cut on the black side carefully and slowly. Slips will show, so cut carefully and slowly. Only cut on the mat cutter, and only cut after you have done all measurements. I will oversee the mat cutting table today.

Ask for help if you need it. Use a plain piece of construction paper a little smaller than your mat and tape it using the acid-free double stick tape to the mat, then use the same tape to center your photo onto the construction paper. You have matted your first piece. Good luck. There is sand paper here to use to finish the edges if it is choppy.

Scratch

Scratch is a program available at the MIT website. It is freeware used for programming.

Scratch can be found at http://scratch.mit.edu Explore the website.

The best way to work with Scratch is to use the many learning plans available under the blue tab at the top of the screen called SUPPORT. In class we will print some of the Scratch print cards, helpful directions on how to program movement, and get started in Scratch. Characters are called Sprites, Scripts is the programming actions, Costumes are the different variations of a character (or sprite) and best of all Scratch has great share possibilities. Open different projects and try out other Scratch programmers work. Import your pictures as background. Import your pictures as sprites. Make your Scratch project your own by using your photos.

Exploring

Exploring

1. Work on Powerpoints.
2. Take silhouette and shadow pictures using the projector.
3. We will go outside for some continuous shots. Most of your cameras have a setting called “Continuous”. This can usually be found in your menu. The continuous setting will let you take 16 or so shots, one right after another, with only having to press the shoot button once. The cool thing about continuous, is you can move your camera around to get a series of photos, or you can photograph someone moving. I recommend taking some shots of a classmate jogging, jumping, dancing, etc.(Maybe things on the playground would be cool, like the swings).

Another way to get some great action shots is to try changing the exposure time (the longer the exposure the more wavy your action shot will be). In your camera’s menu, find an EXP. +/- setting. Try to change the exposure to a higher number (like +1.0). This will help you get action lines.

4. After these projects, if you would like to make a photo box, you may work on that as well.

5. The last half hour of class we will be sharing a few Powerpoint presentations. Remember tomorrow (Thursday) we will start to take home our pieces, and get ready for our Friday party.

Project # 15 Outside Art Chalk Shadows

1. Attendance. Lets talk about "Outsider Art".
2. Outside to shoot Chalk Shadows, portraits, and any thing else you are missing. (landscape, B/W Draw)
3. Upload shadow pictures, and/or create more shadow pictures using the screen and light.
4. Work on Power Point presentation,(Did you forget sound?) Zine, B/W Draw, or any other project you are missing.

Project #14 Power Point & Zine

Today there are two project options.
First, you could begin working on your Powerpoint (see directions below). Second, you could work on the "Zine" project. I will be giving a Zine demo in class. Download the Zine template from the Shared Drive and insert pictures and text. Print B/W or color.

Directions for Powerpoint:
We are going to be creating a Powerpoint presentation that you will be showing the class either Thursday or Friday. TAKE YOUR TIME making these, I want them to look spectacular. If you are unfamiliar with Powerpoint, come ask me for an instruction sheet.

You need to include:
- Your name on the first slide
- A title for each photo on a slide
- 2 self-portraits
- 2 photos of a friend or family member
- A photo of a pet or animal
- A picture of at least 3 projects we did in class (mosaic, face collage, macro, black/white, etc.)
- A landscape
- A photo taken on the macro setting
- An edited photo (either worked on in Photoshop Express or Google or LunaPic)
-
- A still-life picture

*You may include photos not on this list!! Also, you may include pictures you have taken outside of class, as long as YOU took them. Have fun with this.

Project #13 Black and White Draw

Black and White Draw

1. Either use a black and white self-portrait or you can to use a different one, or take one. We can turn color photos into black and white with our HP Printing Program.

2. Either email me the photo, or use the printing station to print out a full size black and white.

3. Wait about three minutes till the ink dries.

4. Use the permanent markers to create new backgrounds, or edit the objects in the photo. Take your time on this, I want it to be detailed. Perhaps you want to take a few minutes to draw some sketches before you start, to get an idea. You may want to choose/or take a photo without a whole lot of background in it, then you can add more details (for example, trees, flowers, cars, people, etc.)

5. When you are finished with this, take a picture, or scan it, add it to your portfolio then work on the next project. What is a portfolio?

Project # 12 B/W Portraits

Black/White Portraits

Begin by finding a classmate to take a picture of, or you can plan on using your self timer for a portrait of yourself.Use the lights and chair to create a “studio like” setting. You may use props also. Get the scene ready before you start taking pictures. Experiment with the light placement. Think about whether or not you need a flash.
Take at least 10 different pictures, moving the light and changing the pose on each shot.
Upload 5 of the best shots onto Photoshop Express (or you can use Photo Editor). Double click on the photo(s) that you would like to change to black/white. Use the crop feature if you need to. Under the catagorie “edits”, you will see black/white. Adjust you photo(s) to make them black/white. Print your favorite.

Fourth of July: Have a Great Celebration Weekend

Celebrate and don't forget to take pictures.

Remember to set your camera on the best setting for the picture you will take.

Portrait, close-up, landscape, indoor, sport or even fireworks. Not all cameras have so many choices, but look for the best setting for you. Take pictures for our projects next week.

Next week we will:

1. Work in Scratch and will need background landscapes for our games.
2. We will create a Power Point with our best and favorite pictures. Include a pet photo and a celebration photo if you can this weekend to include in the project.
3. We will use a picture we have taken and printed in B/W to draw and illustrate by hand.

4. We will go outside to take a surprise imaginative photo.
5. We will mat our favorite and best photos.

Next week is our last week and we will be very busy with all our projects.

Finish Mosaic and our Self Portraits Collage today!!!!!!!

Project #11: Self Portrait Collage (Mosaic Yourself)

Self Portrait Collage

1. Check out your camera. See if there is a portrait setting. If there is, use it! Otherwise, you may want to use your macro setting.
2. You can hold the camera in front of your face, or use the self timer. Experiment using the flash and turning the flash off.
3. Take about 15 pictures of yourself (Either just your face, or your whole body).
4. Upload these photos to Photoshop Express.
5. Crop each photo so that you only see 1 feature in each picture.For example, you will have a “nose picture” and an “eye brow picture”.
6. You can decide to make all your pictures black and white, all different colors (like a Warhol), or whatever you want.
7. In order to print, if one of the printer-computers is open, you can save to your gmail photo page, or to your J drive and print from those computers, after you log out, then log back in. Use another program, like LVIEWPRO to open your photos and print this time. We will demonstrate in class.
8. You can use the paper cutter to cut your pictures, or scissors.
9. Use the heavy construction paper and glue (I suggest the rubber cement) to create a collage.

Project #10 Pattern/Mosaic

How to Print. The 3 Steps to printing.
2. Finish paper art in LunaPic save it to your Gmail Photo Album (Save to Picasa) then print.
3. Work on Patterns/Mosaic Project and discuss mosiacs.


This is an example of a picture "Mosaic". You can make yours in any shape you want. Also, you can use markers to decorate it! You do not have to use black for a background.

Project #9 Patterns-Mosaic

Patterns-Mosaic Hunt

We are going to be working on a mosaic photo project. A mosaic is a picture or decoration made of small, usually colored pieces of inlaid stone, glass, etc. Instead of using stone or glass, we are going to use our photographs. Here is a list of photos I want you to “collect” (take). After you take these photos, we are going to print them (maybe even more than once). Then, we are going to cut the pictures into small shapes and glue the pieces into a mosaic design. These projects will be matted (put in paper frames). I suggest using the macro setting for your photos. I want these pictures to be mostly abstract (unrecognizable as an object). For example, if I ask you to find white, I would like to see something like a close up of the star on the flag. Feel free to take this assignment home to gather photos.You are not required to find ALL these things! This is just to help you get some ideas.

Project #8 Introduction to LunaPic

1. Go to lunapic.com/editor. When Lunapic opens save it to your FAVORITES folder.
2. Upload your background (the picture you took of your paper art) by clicking browse and look for your photo that you saved in your folder. (You have to save your picture to a folder because you can't upload directly from Photoshop Express)
   
3. Click on your picture and hit open.
4. Click upload now.
5. By clicking on the small orange pictures on the left of the screen, you can edit your photo.
6. Click on the button that looks like a pencil. This is the draw tool.
7. After clicking on the draw tool, you will see the word “draw” at the top of your screen and under it, you see three options.First, you can choose the tool, for example free hand pencil or a rectangle. Secondly, you can choose color. Lastly, the pen size. The larger the number, the thicker the pen size.
8. If you make marks that you don’t like, hit clear. If you are happy with your edits, click apply. If you don’t hit apply and choose a different tool, you will lose your changes.
9. If you want to go back to the original image, at the bottom of the screen is Undo. Undo stores your original image, and other images as your work. Click on any image in Undo to go back and retrieve the image before your edits were applied.
10. Experiment with the different editing tools in Luna Pic. Remember nothing is permanent, making mistakes is how we learn, and fun is what we do in the summer. IF you loose your image...don't worry go get another one.Save your image tothe photo section of your Gmail account. Print an enlarged (full page) image of your paper art lunapic design.

Paper Art and Lunapic

1. Look at examples of paper art on the overhead and discuss ideas.

2. Work on our paper art illustrations.

3. Photograph our work and upload--or scan artwork in using the printers.

4. Edit our work on lunapic.com/editor (Specific directions will be given on the next post).

Friday Salon: Learning to Look

Today we will catch up on our projects, emails to me....kristin.leclercq@gmail.com, and most importantly practice using our Elements of Art vocabulary when we share our Favorite Albums from Photoshop.  The art I have seen is fantastic.

This is our Friday Salon, a chance to look at our work, and support each other's efforts.

We also have a job! We have been asked to photograph 6th graders to help their teacher and the class create  Avatars to use in math.  We will take portraits of the students and print them in black and white.  

Project #7 Macro and Outside the Room

Outside Adventure
No matter what kind of photo you are shooting-portrait, still life, landscape, etc.-be sure to explore a different point of view.

Often, these viewpoints show a subject’s beauty that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.


Take a look at your camera. Your camera probably has a macro-setting. This means that your camera is able to take very sharp, close-up photos. To put your camera on the macro setting, find a button that looks like a flower (This button might be in different places depending on your camera. It’s probably under “settings” in the shooting mode). Select the flower button so that it is shown on the screen. Double click the image to enlarge it so you can really see the feature.
By putting the “flower” setting on, you will be using the macro feature.

Find an object outside that you think might make an interesting picture. Take your time exploring different angles. Get close; get really close; move far away; crouch or lie beneath your subject; tower above it; hold the camera straight and leave; tilt it at a crazy angle; stand next to, walk around or run with your subject. Usually macro works best around 4 inches from the object.
Take at least 5 pictures of the same object, all 5 at different angles.
Repeat this method to several different objects both inside and outside the room.
Start a new album called macro.
Upload your photos to your album in photoshop. Later we will guess what is in the picture.

Project #6 Pop Color

Pop Color

Use pictures you have already taken, or take pictures of the still life. Upload these into Photoshop Express into a new folder titled “Pop Color”.
After uploading, double-click on a photo to edit it. Click on the “Pop Color” icon.
On the bottom of the screen, you will see the words, “Select a pop color:” Here, you are choosing which color in your photo your want to pop or change. For example, if in my picture there was someone with a blue sweatshirt, I could choose the blue box to let the program know that I want to change the color of the sweatshirt.
Now, several options appear. Go ahead and experiment. Remember, you can always undo by hitting the “reset all” button or by clicking the orange arrow.
By moving your cursor over the picture (it looks like an eye-dropper), you can select other things in your picture to change. For example, if I decide I want the background to pop instead of the sweatshirt, I click my curser on the background. Save the photo for later work in your new album.

Project #5 Reflective Surfaces/No Flash

Reflective Surfaces/No Flash

1. Before you take any pictures, have a look at your camera. The upside down arrow represents the flash. When we have our cameras on the auto setting, we are letting the camera decide when we should use a flash. Usually, a flash is used when there isn’t enough light in the room.
2. Your upside down arrow will either be on a button on the back of your camera, or in the settings. If you can’t find it let me know. Try turning your flash off. You can most likely do this by selecting the picture of an arrow crossed out with a circle around it.
3. Usually a flash gives us clearer pictures, because it captures a quick moment. Not using a flash might give you “ghost images” or squiggly lines. Therefore, when you take a picture without a flash you will probably want to set your camera down (I have provided boxes for this). Lock your arms to your body and become the tripod. It is not a bad idea to set your timer too!
4. Look at the reflective surfaces I have laid out on the table. Come up with some interesting ways to shoot objects or self portraits using these items.
5. Take about 5-10 pictures. Upload your favorite 3 and edit them if you like.Please email me one at kristin.leclercq@gmail.com.

Project #4 Still Life/ Cropping

Still Life/Cropping
Examples can be found at http://dpsummer09.photoshop.com

In art, the word crop means to cut-off edges. By adjusting the amount of space between the main object of your photo and the background, you can change the feeling of a picture. We are going to crop some photos using Photoshop Express.

1. On the materials table I have created a “still life”, or a group of random objects.
   

2. Before you start taking pictures, think about some interesting angles.For example, maybe you want to stand on a chair to look down on the still life, stand far away, or turn your camera sideways.

3. Go ahead and start snapping pictures. I recommend 10-15 photos.

4. Hopefully, your camera plugged into the computer successfully.Upload your still life shots into Photoshop Express.

1. Sign in to Photoshop Express.
2. Go to “My Photos”
3. Click on the button that says “Upload Photos (In the top left).
4. A “select file(s)” screen will pop up. You should be able to find your photos in the “My Documents Folder”. If have not been saved here, try clicking on “My Computer”, on the left side. Here you may find a folder connecting directly to your camera, so you might see something that says, “Removable Disk D”, or “Secure Storage Device”. Hopefully, one of these buttons will lead you to your pictures.
   
5. Highlight the files you want to upload and click open.
6. This will take you to the uploading screen on Photoshop Express.
7. On the left of this screen you will see three options. Click so the white dot is on, “Upload to New Album”. Then, name the album “Still Life”.

5. Now we are going to crop our images in interesting ways!

6. Double click on a picture you would like to crop (This will take you to an editing program).

7. On the left side of the screen, you will see a crop/rotate button. Click on this.

8. Now you will see that little squares have appeared in the corners of your pictures. By holding the mouse down and moving the squares, you can crop your image.
9. Try cropping in a few different ways. You can undo a crop by hitting the orange arrow in the upper right of the screen.
10. When you have cropped a picture the way you like it, click save in the lower right. Continue to practice cropping on at least 5 of your pictures. Pick your favorite one and please email me the picture (just like we did for selfies).

11. You may print one of your cropped pictures (ask me when you are ready).

12. When you have finished this project, look in the folder box for extension activities.

Project#3 Digital Effects

Once you have captured an image you are happy with, consider taking the image into new visual territory through digital enhancements. These effects could be applied to strengthen or alter the existing mood of an image and create a more artful look.

1. Choose either a selfie or upload a picture you have taken of someone else to use for a digital effect experiment.
   
2. In Photoshop Express, choose a picture from your library and double click on it (or hit the button on the bottom of the screen "edit photo".
   
3. This will take you to the editing area. Here, you can make adjustments by choosing from many different options: crop/rotate, sharpen, soft focus, pop color, hue, black/white, tint, sketch, and distort.
   
4. While you do your editing, if you are happy with your change hit the green check mark in the upper right. If you are unhappy, hit the orange undo arrow. For final changes, hit save in the lower right.
   
5. After you have altered at least 3 photos, please chose your favorite and email it to me. You can do this by highlighting your picture in the library and hitting the email photo button in the lower toolbar. Enter my email: kristin.leclercq@gmail.com
   

Project #2

Using the Timer- Masking Identity

All digital cameras have a setting that lets you set a timer. When a timer is set, a picture is taken a few seconds after the shoot button is pressed. The timer setting is great for taking pictures of something that you (the photographer) want to be in. Another reason for using the timer is that it is good for taking pictures of something really close up or without a flash. If you are not holding the camera, the picture can focus more clearly! This is what the timer button looks like.

1. Brainstorm some ways of capturing pictures of yourself that mask your identity. Think of different ways of using props, graphic elements (editing), hands, etc.
2. Look at some examples on my Photoshop Express gallery. You can do this by going to http://dpsummer09.photoshop.com
3. Turn on your camera and look for a button that looks like the button above.
   
4. Push this button and choose to use a 10 second timer (or something around that).
   
5. Set your camera down and shoot.
   
6. After you have taken several photos with at least three different types of identity masking, upload your photos. If you forgot how to do this, refer to project #1 instructions.

Uploading and Sending Photos

Uploading and Sending your Photos

After I teach you different ways to get your photos from your camera to the computer, we are going to be uploading our pictures to Photoshop Express.

1. Log in to Photoshop Express. Click on “My Photos”.
2. Find the button that says, “Upload Photos” (it’s in the upper left corner with a green plus sign).
3. Clicking on this brings you to a “Select File(s)” window. Hopefully you have made your photos easy to find by saving them to the desktop or in a labeled folder. Find the pictures you would like to upload and either click on one and hit open, or to select more than one, hold down shift and click on several files and hit open.
4. A grey “upload photos” screen will appear. In the left you will see three options upload to Library, upload to new album, or upload to an existing album. You are going to click in the circle next to “Upload to a new album”. Then, you are going to type “Selfie” in to the box.
5. Hit the blue/green upload button. When your pictures are finished uploading, a “done” button will appear. Click on this and it will take you to your new “Selfie” album. Once your pictures are here, you can edit them (we will get into that later).
6. There are two ways to email a picture using Photoshop Express. a. Highlight a picture by clicking once on it. There will be a blue line around the edges. Click on the words, “Email Photo”, on the lower section of the screen. A box will show up asking you to put in an email address. You are going to type in my email kristin.leclercq@gmail.com. b.The second way to email is to put your curser over the lower portion of your photo. A grey box will show up and say “Photo Options”. Click on the white down arrow and go to “E-mail Photo”. Type in my email and click send.
7. I am asking you to send one of your selfies to me so that I know that you understand how to upload and send photos. When you are finished, you can work on an enrichment activity, found on my blog and on the materials table.

Project #1 "Selfies"

Project #1 “Selfie” A “selfie” is one of those images that is taken by aiming the camera at yourself. The guesswork that goes into taking selfies often results in photographic surprises. With a little practice it’s possible to hold your picture-taking hand and arm in such a way that it’s almost impossible to tell that the image is taken by you! Of course, it’s perfectly fine to have your arm showing in the photo, too. A selfie might make you smile, squint, laugh, pout, etc. Try to capture those facial expressions by taking at least 6 shots. Also, you can experiment using mirrors, windows, and other reflective surfaces. To look at more examples of my selfies, go to http://dpsummer09.photoshop.com

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Family and Friends

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Family and Friends,

Thanks for enrolling in Digital Photography Enrichment! I am looking forward to working with you this summer. I want to let you know more about me and our class.

I will post here on blogspot daily projects, instructions, ideas, extension activities, hints etc. Everyone is encouraged to post responses on the blog site. Please feel free to contact me with any thoughts at kristin.leclercq@gmail.com.

Please bring your camera (and cords if you have them) to class everyday. We will try to upload pictures using cords and connecting to our computers. If we find that this does not work for your camera, you can upload them at home into Photoshop Express, or onto a disc or flash drive. If you do not have a digital camera, you can use a traditional one, just go to Walgreens and have them put your photos on a disc, OR WE CAN SCAN IN PICTURES. I do have two cameras that we can share in class, but unfortunately they must stay in the classroom. Please, do not lend anything to anyone else, unless you are OK with someone else losing it.
