I am doing a Holloween project that is two stages. So far this year my students have learned shapes, most tools and a little of layers. From here I am going to demonstrate and instruct on the following skills: 1. filters - liquify 2. Tools - warp, pucker, bloat, clone stamp, eye dropper, healing brush 3. Layers - add, modify, add style 4. Masks, freeze mask
Monday and Tuesday I am going to use a canned photo of an attractive person and using the above tools model how to distort the photo into a Witch.
Wednesday through Friday my students will use head shots of themselves** and make themselves into a Holloween monster. We will print and display one copy and one copy for them to take home on Friday.
**Several weeks ago, the students took each others head shots with a digital camera, and saved it to their personal folders for future use. Since them after each unit they have had to demonstrate their skill using their face.
