Description-Students are to demonstrate their knowledge of using Photoshop tools including masking tools, image resizing and filters. They must use the horses background image and then bring in a minimum of 4 images from the web to create a fantasy composite image that tells a story. Composition, masking, detail, perspective and other basic design technique will be included in the grading. Files must be saved as native .psd and also as a .jpg. Students will upload their final piece as a .jpg to their ePortfolios on their Tech Lit page or as a page/kid to Tech Lit page (their choice but stick with one method for all assignments) with the assignment order number, and with a detailed assignment description (can be copied and pasted from here) and reflection restating what they did, how they did it, and how they feel about their work.
Reflection-It was super fun to make this. I had to first test out the tools, then I had to think of a story. We learned how to use masking tools, layers, etc. Then we had to copy/paste images from the internet to help tell the story. I made my story, rainbow llamas are attacking the horses and tuning them into a rainbow, while the rainbow cat guardians are trying to chase the llamas away. I used the smudge tool a lot, and the pen and magic wand. I think this is a cool picture, and very colorful too..
