About altering images:

Working with existing images and altering them can be a lot of fun. It can be a way of examining our environment,
Our surroundings and how we relate to them. You can also use it in story telling in paintings. An ordinary image can become something
magical by using unusual tools and processes to change them. Here are a few ideas:


Mark making and sanding:Put picture in lukewarm water for 30 seconds. Wipe the water off and start sanding and scratching the image, distorting and changing it. You can use sandpaper, a needle, any sharp object.

Use chemicals:Use bleach to 'lift off' (or partly off) colour. Leave the bleach on for a moment and it will turn orange, leave it for longer and it will turn yellow and finally—it will turn white. Bleach part of the picture, use a bleach pen for more control.

Resist:If you want to make something with partial portions of bleach. You can use oil stick, pastel, or a sticker. The areas that are covered will act like a resist and all other areas will be bleached.

Start:

Assignment 7:
Lines - Movement- Pattern - Texture

 For this assignment you will incorporate the some of the elements and principles of art into your images.  Find examples of lines, patterns, movement and texture in everyday places. Use them to create strong Black and White images with lots of contrast.
Try using the macro function to get interesting texture.  Sometimes getting up close and personal with an object can make for a dynamic image.

           It's amazing really how much there is to see in the world.  Patterns are everywhere (think about objects  repeating themselves.)  Look for an unusual surprising pattern while you are out and about.

Criteria for Assignment #7 Line, Texture, Pattern & Movement

1.      All photo's that you use for this assignment MUST be originals of yours that you took with a digital camera for this assignment (don't use old photos from other assignments.) 
2.  Turn in BLACK and WHITE images only!  You can  take them in color and change them to B&W on Photoshop, or you can change the setting on your camera to take B&W photos.
3. You need to create 4 images for each composition style. Four that show texture, four that show line, four that show pattern and four that show movement.
4. Do not digitally enhance your images too much.  Use little changes like contrast or levels to make a change.
5. Create dynamic compositions.  Think about what you are doing.  Set up the image before you take the shot.
6. Save your images in your personal folder and upload them to your blog.
