Using the warm and cool effects on pictures creates a blue or yellowish tint to the photos.





















To take these pictures, you use the macro setting on your camera. We used the high pass filter and the blending mode is overlay in photoshop.

This poster is for the Fine Arts Festival in February that displays artwork form high school students in Albemarle County schools. I created this by using different types of font and using a picture as the background.

david hockney

David Hockney was a famous photographer who was part of the pop art movement. He is famous for taking multiple pictures of one thing and putting them back together in pieces.

portraits








I used the curves technique and the path techniques. I also used the cross processing technique to create one of our pictures along with the ink sketch technique.

differences:)












We changed something about our pictures to make them into a "wheres waldo" game to hide the differences. I did not go on the downtown mall trip so i dont know what everyone did.



old stuff!

I used the black and white tool, desaturate, sepia, noise, grain, and vinegrette tools. I also added some new brushes to create a coffee stain look. The most important part of the picture when trying to age my work is to make sure that the picture doesnt look modern.

pop art pictures:)












I took these pictures around my house.

carters mountain(but not really)















For these pictures i used the color correct method to make the colors sharpen more. For some, i changed them to black and white and sepia. I added text by using the text tool and using the freeform pen tool to make the text shape to the path.

spooooooooooky picture(:

The tutorial i used was the "Make an Image Look Evil." The tools i used were the polygonal lasso tool, the burn tool, the blur tool, and different brush tools. It wasnt hard to use a tutorial that wasnt taught to us because the tutioral was very specific and showed pictures to help.
