Prompts for LP 3-Interactive Multimedia

Artist:  Choose from the 20 artists that I feature this month.
Skills:  working in Photoshop, working with video, taking better pictures.

1.  Visit the link below and choose an Artist that you are interested in learning more about.  Send that artist an email to try and make a personal connection.  Just like last month, I would like you to find several good examples of the artists work.  Print and showcase these in your portfolio notebook with a very short bio and opinion statement.  We will share in class and try to continue using famous artists to influence our work.

2.  Continue to revise and add to you artists statement.
3.  Upload and complete your Reflections entry.-see previous link
4.  Upload all new finished photos to Costco site-discuss printing
5. Batch 3:  Choose a technique form the list below.  Demonstrate this technique in Photoshop by applying it to an entire batch of work carefully.  Must show us at least 5 examples.  Must use only original Photos or trade with classmates for theirs.  No Internet photo downloads.

simplification-remove background creatively
painting on layers to enhance an image
animating a photo to create a GIF
Using adjustment layers to apply highlights, dodging, burning
transformations, warps, scaling effects
light leaks-gradient fades, colorizing dramatically
advertising with Text and captions-using text effectively
masking-selecting to enhance or combine layers

6.  Propose an idea for a class video that we can make that will involve everyone and allow us to work together in Adobe Premiere. Find examples to share with us in class so we can vote. Begin recording short 10-30 second clips that interest you.  We can all work separately if that is where the interest lies.
