Student+Art+Work

Students in Mrs. Frank's 7th grade rounds classes recently modified digital pictures of their "dream room" art project. Mrs. Frank taught the students about one-point perspective by having them create a drawing of their dream room. The students used colored pencils on white construction paper. Digital photos of their artwork was made available in a student shared drive. Students then opened the .jpeg of their drawing, saved it to their own folders, cropped and brightened the image, and then saved it under another file name to modify. They then learned how to use various tools in PhotoShop such as the magnetic wand and magnetic lasso tool to modify images from the internet. They also learned how to work in layers, use the edit-transform menu to size the images fromt the internet and change their perspective. In this way the students used PhotoShop to add many more elements to modify their original drawings. In some, it was hard to tell which images they had drawn and which they had pasted. The kids loved the activity. I have uploaded some of the transformations in the space below.

I am having a bit of trouble with getting the cursor to go under the pictures. I will save this and see if it corrects. I guess you just have to hit the enter key until the cursor is where you want it.

See if you can upload one of your pictures here - appropriate, please - make sure the file size is not too large.
