When you are ready to begin I have started uploading video to youtube for you to use.  I will be ready to help if you have any questions!

What you will do:
1. Pick a portrait to do- It has to be someone you know- it can not be an image from google images etc.  It has to be a photo taken by you or someone you know.  
You can bring a real photo in for me to scan or in on a flash drive or upload it to your google docs.
2.  Decide how you are going to create your image.  Mrs. Riehle will have tutorials on various ways to do it, but not all ways- you may have to do a little searching!
3.  When we are all done you are going to print this out HUGE!  We will learn how to do that.
4. They should not look identical to the tutorials- make them your own!!!!!!
5.  Have fun!

Here are a couple more examples using color and custom brushes instead of words.

An Artistic Alphabet



Typography is VERY important in art; especially in graphic design!  So you are going to create an artistic alphabet.....from A to Z!  I have made a board showing some examples.  You can do it however you like, by just using fonts or using graphics as well, you do have to make it interesting and artistic.  You will be posting this to your blog as well as printing it out!

Here are some guidelines:


  • Use blending options!
  • Use different fonts- they can be downloaded easily and free from the links on the blog.
  • Use brushes- add some interest- I will show you how to download brushes and use them artisticly!
  • Clip art only!   NO GOOGLE IMAGES (OR ANY PHOTOS UNLESS YOU TOOK THEM).  Use the AEA website!
  • COLOR!  Use different colors!
  • Creativity! Be creative!!!


Here is a link to the board of ideas!!!!!
