Portrait Projects!!!

Today we will begin your portrait projects!! Yippy!! Today is your photo shoot day!

Step 1:  Finder- Open PhotoBooth
Step 2:  Take 5 photos of your face close up. You need the right and left profile view. You will need the right and left 3/4 view, and a front view. Basically mug shots... If you want to make a silly face you will be drawing and sculpting that silly face too so be careful what you get yourself into!
Step 3:  Export the 5 images into iPhoto
Step 4:  Edit the images into Black and White.
Step 5:  Crop the images tight to have very little negative space around your head.
Step 6:  Open "Word"
Step 7:  Import all 5 images to the document
Step 8:  The front view must be on a full page alone and leave margins all around. Only enlarge from the corners! Do not stretch your face!!
Step 9:  The other 4 images go on the second page.
Reminder TIP.....  Make sure you DO NOT STRETCH your photos from the sides, only enlarge from the corners!!!!
Step 10: Finally, please let me check what you have done and then together we will print the pages to the COLOR Printer.

Once you are finished you may work on your shoe designs and your t-shirt designs!!

Tee Shirt Design for SHAC
"Prevention Plan Logo"
--Logo covering distracted/texting and driving, under-aged drinking, and drinking and driving.--
--"5 Seconds Is All It Takes", "5 seconds is the minimal amount of time that your attention is taken away from the road when you're texting and driving. If you are traveling at 55mph, this equals driving the length of a football field without looking at the road. Texting and driving is also the #1 cause of death in road accidents."-Demetrius R.

Holiday Fun!

Over the break Art 2-4 will be creating a Cubism - Zentangle of their faces. The steps and examples follow...

1. Take two different photos with two different angles and sizes using photo booth on your laptop.
2. Print both images to the black and white printer.
3.



"In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.<sup>[3]"
