1. How do you create "painterly" effects with photoshop?



This unit emphasizes learning Photoshop's brushes, clone stamp, healing patch, and selection tools, applying the elements of design in creating visual images, learning about linear and atmospheric perspective, and learning about composition and depth in visual design.




When creating "painterly" images with Photoshop, students will develop the ability to:
-- use Photoshop's creative tools effectively and efficiently,
-- apply the elements of design,
-- apply the visual qualities of color,
-- interpret the effects of atmospheric and linear perspective.




All students will:

-- be instructed on the use of Photoshop software,
-- be instructed on the elements and principles of art,
-- recieve feedback on their own artwork,
-- be involved in group discussions of their work,
-- be required to communicate ideas through writing.




1. Homework is used as a formative and summative evaluation tool.
2. Quizzes and tests are used to access concrete information such as vocabulary, equipment use, and procedures.
3. Project evaluations may take the form of group critiques, rating scales, checklists, written evaluations, and teacher interviews.
4. A portfolio demonstrates skills learned and personal, aesthetic growth. The body of work stands as a visual record of the creative process experienced throughout the semester.
5. Group discussions give insight into the creative process and problem solving, providing an avenue for learning, how to talk about art, how to view art, and how to improve one's skills.
