ARTS & TECHNOLOGY LESSON 38

I was online a couple of years ago when I stumbled upon a website in which professional artists copy and render children's drawings into finished pieces. This is how I got the idea for this particular lesson plan. Well today you're going to be a finished piece inspired by actual children's drawings or paintings. Go to the following website, http://www.naturalchild.org/gallery/ and find a drawing or painting of your choice. Then copy and paste it into PhotoImpact. Do the same thing that you've been doing for the last two days. But today I also want you to add some text to it. Add whatever you like, but it must have words.

ARTS & TECHNOLOGY LESSON 37


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. Do the same as you did yesterday. Create a very colorful three dimensional character using this sketch as inspiration.

ARTS & TECHNOLOGY LESSON 36

Today's lesson is quite and interesting one, or at least I think it is. You're going to learn how to create a 3-D cartoon-like creature from nothing but a simple line sketch. You'll be doing this for most of this week so I hope you enjoy it. Click on the link below for your tutorial.

ARTS & TECHNOLOGY LESSON 34

You are a graphic artist in a large advertising agency. A customer has come to you so that you can design an animated gif for his/her website pertaining to Christmas. The client wanted his/her business name or logo included in the animation. Choose from one of the ficticious business names and create a Christmas animated gif for their website. You must use either the name of the business or first create a business logo and use it in the animation. Be creative!!!!!!! Here are the names of the businesses:
1) Dog groomer - Fido Cutz
2) Restaurant - A Knight Out
3) Athletic shoes - Fast Feet
4) Optometrist - 20/20 Vision
5) Internet service provider - Get Connected
6) Cell phone - Kicker
7) Football team - Slayerz
8) Sunglasses - Shaded Sun
9) Fast food - Snax
10) Sports car - Lazer
A project of this magnitude can not possibly be accomplished in just one class period. If you think you can, you're wrong. I will give you at least two classes for this assignment. Don't waste it!!!!!!!

ARTS & TECHNOLOGY LESSON 33

It seems as if many of you have attempted animated snow with varying degrees of success. Following are the instructions for creating realistic snow. For today's lesson I want you to create a scene with animated snow. This may be either a snow scene or a snow globe. You decide which one. Remember the final animation can't be larger than 400 x 400 pixels.
