Currently Due Projects

Last week we worked on 3 projects. They are now due:

Photoshop Filters
Current Events Photo Critique
Photoshop Text Effects

Today we will work on converting a photo to black and white and colorizing a part of the picture. There are several ways to do this and I will give a demonstration of these techniques in class.

Current Photo Events Critique

1. Use the Photography Sites link to select a picture from AP Images, Reuters Full Focus, or National Geographic. 

2. Use the Critique Guide above to write the critique.

3. Also include background information on the events surrounding the picture. Where was it taken? What are the circumstances of the picture? You must do the research in order to provide an In-Depth understanding of what is happening and why! Expand your perspectives!
