Rearranging Body Parts

CHAMELEON GUY

If you thought hiding an elephant was difficult, check out the link below.  See if you can find the man hidden in each photograph.  But this was not done using a computer.  The man was actually painted to blend in with the background.  Absolutely awesome.  Anyone want to try this?

LESSON TWENTY

Hide a what?  You've got to be kidding.  Of all the things in the world to hide why would you ever want to hide an elephant and how would you hide one in the first place?  Well that's your challenge for the day.  You're going to hide an elephant.  Thank goodness you know how to use PhotoImpact 8 because it can be done using such a photo editing tool as this.

Click on the link below to see some pretty awesome examples of how other graphic artists have hidden elephants.  Remember, you're not going to copy one of theirs.  You're going to use theirs as inspiration.

How Do You Hide an Elephant?

But before you start, go to mind42.com and do a quick graphic organizer or possible ways you might hide an elephant.  I would not include photos only suggestions as such:  paint him, put him in a bottle, put him in clothes, etc.

Good luck and be as creative as possible.  And think outside the trunk, I mean, the box.

LESSON FIFTEEN

Levitation?  Have you ever heard of that word?  You may have heard of it as far as magicians are concerned.  Lots of them do levitation tricks or tricks in which they cause objects to float.  Well today you're going to cause various things to float in a picture.  Below you will see two very good examples of what I'm referring to.  Decide on what you want to float and then make it happen in your picture.  Think very carefully before you start and then be as creative as you can.  And by the way, make it look as realistic as possible.

Mr. Hewett

ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT

Below is the assessment instrument that we will be using for all of your assignments.  You'll notice that there are five items to be assessed or graded.  Each of these five items must receive a grade from 0 - 20 depending on how successful you think you were with them.  Once you have assigned a grade to all five items, total the five numbers.  This will be your grade for your assignments.  I too will grade using this same assessment instrument.

1) How well did you follow the instructions for this particular assignment?
2) How well did you stay on task during this assignment?
3) Did you "think outside the box" or did you do more than was required for this assignment?
4) How would you grade your use of grammar and punctuation?
5) Just how successful do you feel you were on this assignment?

Give each item a grade between 0 - 20, then total the five grades.  This is your grade for this particular assignment.

Mr. Hewett
