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.

LESSON TWENTY-EIGHT

Above is an animated gif I did using only my name.  Today's assignment is to create an animation using the name of our collaborative project with the third graders from Cerro Gordo Elementary.  The name of the project is "Monster Makeover".  Use just the name and create an animation advertising it.  We may be able to put it on our website or theirs or even both.  Your animation may be square, rectangle running vertically or rectangular running horizontally like mine above.  Remember the animations can't be very large.  Be as creative as possible and think outside the box.  The above animation has 42 frames.  Yours should have approximately the same or perhaps even more.  Don't rush.  You'll have two days on this project so there will be no need to finish it today.  If you do, I'll just ask you to add even more frames.  Enjoy!

LESSON TWENTY-SEVEN

Well here is a sketch that I drew for you all to use for today's lesson. As you can see it's a little more complicated than the ones that you guys drew yesterday. Copy and paste this image into PhotoImpact and do the same as you did yesterday. Create a very colorful three dimensional character using this sketch as inspiration.

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.
