Painting I Student

How has “technology “changes this projectOriginally we had students find magazine photos

Limitations size photographic modifications washed out values Lack of interest in subject

This project will have students generate their own photos high interest level = high successIf photographed at home; fun expressions - less inhibitionPhoto manipulation of saturation and intensity

Computer time provides an extra-lesson to help strengthen understanding of values – with immediate results on the computer
