DIGITAL ART 1
Assignment #17 is due from all students NO LATER than the end of class Friday, February 22nd Assignment #19 is due from all students NO LATER than the end of class Friday, March 1st DIGITAL ART 2 PGS. 1-10 of the MAGAZINE PROJECT are due like, LAST WEEK! Editors in Chief, if you have not submitted them to me on a flashdrive yet... man, you better get on it! Before I even begin telling you about this assignment, there's something REALLY important you need to make sure you do. You are going to have to use a lot of images you find online. Use them in your story board. Edit them in any way you need to. Color them. Whatever. BUT, also save ALL of the images in their UNEDITED form, just like you found them online, in a separate folder on your flash drive. Do the same thing that you did when you created the DIGITAL ART PROJECTS folder except name this one ORIGINALS. Put all of your UNEDITED images in that new folder. I will look at those images as well as your finished Story Board when I'm grading. A Story Board is series of images (usually drawings) that illustrates a Narrative (story). Like any narrative/story, it happens in chronological order (First this happened, then that happened, then the next thing happened, etc.) Your assignment is to create a story board. Do the following: 1. Choose two of the blank "Comic Book" pages by clicking on the links below.

It should look something like this: In the blank boxes, create your own Story Board as follows:
Create an original narrative (story). The narrative can be a story about anything... about you, someone else, something funny, something serious, something completely made up or it can be a true story. Your Story Board shall be created to meet the following criteria: 1 It is at least 1000 px in both width and height. It can be larger than that 2 It contains a minimum of nine (9) panels or scenes 3 It illustrates a narrative with a chronological order (first something happens, then another thing happens and so on). 4 EACH of the panels contains the following: - At least two living things and two man-made things. For example, a person (living), a tree (living), a car (man-made) and a building (man-made) - It is FULLY-COLORED including the use of GRADIENTS in AT LEAST HALF of the areas. - Contains words of some kind. These words can be put in there lots of different ways. You can use "word bubbles". There can be a little narration written across the bottom or top of each frame. The words can even be something written on the side of a wall or on a billboard or something. Use LINE DRAWINGS that you find online, meaning that you find drawings of the things you want to put in your storyboard that are just the outline. You will put them all together and color them yourself in GIMP or PIXLR. Oh, and have fun and be creative with this thing :-) IT'S PROGRESS REPORT TIME AGAIN...
IF YOU ARE MISSING GRADES IN FOCUS, it is the result of one or more the following conditions: 1 Your flash drive is (STILL!!!) improperly formatted. Check your flash drive and compare it to the directions in the December 5, 2018 blog post. 2 Your flash drive found it's way into the wrong place for grading. Check the container labeled "Flash Drives" which is located on the Flash Drives Cart in class. These are the flash drives that were located in the cup on my desk with the big ? on it... the one I've been asking all students to check for two weeks. 3 One or more of your project files is the wrong file type. Please recall that all project work is to be submitted as a .jpg or .png file (unless I specifically say otherwise). 4 You just didn't do the work. 5 I made a mistake. If any or all of 1-4 above are the case, you have until the end of class Tuesday, February 19th to properly submit the work for grading. These assignments include #'s 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. You must hand the flash drive directly to me during class. I am intentionally assigning no new work until Wednesday, February 20th to allow students to complete and submit missing assignments. If you are caught up on everything, and assignments 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are complete (and 12, 14, 15 and 16 are graded and showing in FOCUS, please take the opportunity to complete Assignments #18, the extra-credit assignment described in the post below. If #5 (I made a mistake) above is true, please submit to me (on a full-size sheet of notebook paper) an explanation of anything you can tell me. Make sure to put your first and last name and period number on the sheet and hand it directly to me as soon as possible. Mistakes do happen, and if the mistake is mine I wish to correct it immediately. I will correct ANY GRADING MISTAKES made by me as soon as they are brought to my attention. Otherwise, students should submit late work for grading on a flash drive that they won't need for 5-10 school days. That work will be graded during that time. A Swiss Army knife is a tool. It's main function is that of a knife but it also contains things like scissors, screwdrivers, wrenches, tweezers, etc. (see photo below). Using Pixlr, Sumo or Photoshop, create a photo illustration of a "Swiss Army Phone". Choose a photo of the phone of your choice. Then, coping and pasting from a variety of other photos, add eight (8) gadgets and tools (like a Swiss Army Knife, but make it completely silly if you like) to the phone. The goal is to make it look as real as possible. Begin with a photo that shows highlights and shadows on the phone itself. That means that the picture will have to be of a real phone, in real life... perhaps laying on a table or being used by someone. Do not use a company's promotional (advertisement) photo of their phone. Those photos usually lack shadows and contain only a white, featureless background. So pay attention to the highlights and shadows of the photos you use. All of them should have similar lighting situations (inside vs. outside, light coming above vs. below, right vs. left, very dark shadows vs. lighter shadows, etc.) Remember, the primary grading criteria for these photocompositing assignments is the quality of your copying and pasting and the number of processes you use (the more being the better). My example below is incomplete. I haven't had time to finish it. Sorry... Highlights? |
