Apocalypse Intro

"Destruction as a form of creation"

Apocalypse at Chavez

Students will utilize all the tools and techniques they have learned in the first quarter to create an apocalypse scene at Cesar Chavez. They will include three photos that they have taken around the school, and these photos will be included in their final scene.

Photoshop Painting Techniques

Students will learn about the quality of a brush stroke. They will be using photoshop filters to bring out the detail in their image, and then use painting techniques to create a digital painting.

Abstract Nature

Students will use one of their photos that they have taken of nature. They will learn how to download custom brushes, and use preset brushes to apply effects. Their final image will look more like an abstract painting than an actual photo.
