This virtual space will be used as a community sketchbook for students in AEAH 3770 Computer Art Applications. Specific prompts, assignments, and student reflections will be shared and exhibited
i saw this a long time ago on stumble upon, and it's always seemed like something relatively easy to do! this step-by-step webpage would also be used if i had a projector screen readily available - just for convenience sake. i feel like this would be very interesting to younger students, esp. the ones who enjoy sci-fi or super powers...
I think this website has some cool ideas. I like how this particular photoshop lesson shows kids some useful tools that they may want to use. I definately want to teach useful things :)
this is an age progression tutorial. I think that it could be fun to use. I also think that it is a good way to learn and get use to photoshop, because it has a lot of simple copy paste and blending techniques.
I would like to do a lesson on how to put images on a water front and how to show the reflection in the water. How to: put the image in the desired location -> flip the image and make it transparent on top of the water-> use the blur tool and blur it with the direction of the water. not much blurring necessary.
I think the lesson found below can be really great for students new to photoshop. I would use this to teach them the basics of PS. This has information that they could actually use easily.
This is a great tutorial on how to create 3d lettering and it has illustrations that show you exactly how to do it. This is something that I think would be very useful.
This tutorial would be good to use for students because it's simple and you get a neat effect that kids will be intrigued to play around with. Also, students that are better with Photoshop can add more components and students who aren't can keep it basic (while still having a cool, impacting effect).
First is a giant resource for 'official' Gimp tutorials: http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/forum/28-gimp-tutorials-and-tips/
More specifically: http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?showtopic=32441 This last link is specific to digitally painting an outdoor scene. The scene and process could be simplified, but approaches ground painting, rocks, plant-life proportions, depth of field, lighting, and layers; furthermore, it demonstrates an easy to follow workflow.
This is showing how to retouch any picture of someone into magazine ready. I think this would be fun because the media and magazines definitely alter children's perceptions of what is real and what isn't. Kids these days are committing suicide from all of the pressure they feel to be perfect. Appearance is a competition they play every day.
I'm not entirely sure I'd choose to incorporate another artist in this lesson plan, but I love the idea of using Photoshop as your painting medium. I would love for my kids to understand that your paintings can be done in the computer, and how many artists utilize this every day. This would be a more intricate project, designed for high school levels.
How to Think like a Graphic Designer. I think something like this would be fun to show kids at the begining of a photoshop/design project to get them a little more interested and inspired. maybe find a few other diff/better videos that really get the kids interested.
I want to include a photoshop class on .gifs as part of a larger unit on gestalt and animation.
This tutorial describes what I would teach. It's brief and concise, so students would definitely be able to complete it. After an initial exploration with photography, we would move to jpegs of their own hand-drawn animation -- and focus on seamless loops that repeat infinitely.
I think that learning how to create an avatar in photoshop will allow students to learn how to use photoshop as well as recreating themselves in another light that further describes who they are.
i think this would be cool to teach kids. Definitely older kids. It's a little work intensive, but i think they would be really proud of their end products.

ReplyDeleteI think kids would really enjoy this. Children of all ages are obsessed with explosions so this is a tutorial to create their own.

ReplyDeleteI would have them start out with something simple, like a basic photo adjustment. Let them play with the colors and stuff.
