Hello all!
Today we will learn how to make animal hybrids! We will use the selection tool, copy and paste, and blur and clone to work through this.
While you are waiting for me to finish the demonstration with the other module, please find 3 different HIGH quality photos of animals (go to advanced search under google images and change your image size to 1024x....). Also find a background image for your animal.

Good day!
Part 1:
Today we are going to learn how to do colour isolations! While you are waiting, find 3 photos that you took during the last unit and move them to your desktop for easy access. These are the photos you will turn into a colour isolation. If you are finished this, then you can continue playing with photoshop. Instead of creating a hamburger with layers, try creating an ice cream sunday with all the layers. Try doing as much detail as possible with multiple tones, etc.
Part 2:
After our presentation, you will create a colour isolation of the 3 photos you have chosen. These should be done well-I will zoom in on these photos so they should be clean, neat, and tidy. Post all 3 onto your blog. If you finish this, go back to your sundae drawing.

Today we will start by looking at layers! Layers are an essential part of photoshop and something that needs to be used acurately. We will also explore with some of the drawing tools today to create our own graphic.
Once you are done the 2 versions of the "hamburger" you may have free time to explore the possibilities of photoshop! I would like you to look at some of the filter options in particular, but be sure to make each adjustment a separate layer and make a background copy!
