New Assignments term #2

Overlay #1: (5 marks) Using Pixlr Express, put two photos together, preferably a texture shot and a head shot, but any two photos will be OK. The focus of the assignment is to learn the basic skill of overlay and to create a new artistic style of photo. Try different overlays to find the best looking new photo. Use the opacity button to fade the two photos together. ( Practice)

Overlay #2: (5 marks) Using Photoshop, create a new photo by putting two artistic photos together. This is the same assignment as above but with two different photos in a more advanced editing program. (Practice)

Overlay #3: (10 marks) This is an art piece. This assignment will require you to shoot two photos with the intent to create an overlay. In this case, you are not taking photos you have already taken but rather choosing to shoot two photos with the intent to create an overlay.( Good Quality Artistic piece expected)

Duplicity Shot: (20 marks) ( to be resized to 8x10 and printed out as well as posted onto Flickr in an album ) Students should use a tripod or monopod to shoot an individual in an interesting background in 4 different positions. All the photos should be shot on the same day at the same time and edited the same way. Then the photos will be edited in Photoshop using layers creating one final photo with all four pictures in it. You will create layers and position each photo into a new layer. When you are ready to print out see Ms. Chase first. NOTE: i have taught how to do this in class, but I am happy to walk students through this process again when they have their photos ready to put into Photoshop.
