Digital Artist's Canvas Proposal

"I am aware that I will be evaluated on the final product and on my successful presentation of my concept or theme. I am aware that Peter must approve this project idea before I continue."

Here is what I learned during my research:

When someone is being bullied it is not alwase obvious. Bullying can be unnoticed for the longest time. Like bullying over MSN or messages on facebook, notes passed in classrooms and other fashions as such. Bullying can be stoped when one person realizes that to gfet respect they must give it, even if they are not in the wrong. With respect comes peace, and bullying can be as small as someone tripping another person or it can take form of one country attacking a smaller one.

Here are three ideas/topics that I have thought of:

A classroom scean where one student is writing a hate note to another student. With the words "Give respect to get respect" and then it says and "and with respect comes peace"

my seocnd idea is to have more of a global scene. It could be somethign like an image of a globe with other images intergraded into it, on oone side would be images that show disrespect and on the other side it could have images of respect it would say " Respect Makes Peace" and on the bottom in smaller writing it would say " We Are Alll In This Together " to show that if everyone was respectful of themselves and others, peace would come naturally


A third idea that i have is to make an image that is some one on a computor looking at thier inbox full of hate messages and on the bottom it says " respect yourself enough to respect me, because with respect comes peace"



The idea I have chosen to pursue is:

number 2

What Is Real??- Performance Task

To make this What is real-Performance task as realistic as possible, I seletcted the plane and the cloud and droped them into the skyline. I duplicated the could, flip it vertically and sized it down using th transform tools. To make them more realitic I made the smaller cloud more stretched horisontally. I then went into the variations on the clouds and made them belong more by adding more cyan and making them lighter. To blend them more I went into the blending options of the layers and changed the oppacity so you could see the plane slightly through the big cloud. To make the cloud look less like the painting it was, I used the smudge tool and smudged it around. I used the history brush on the bottom of the clouds to make the cloud look thinner.

Helene's Unreal Animal

To make this "scary squirrel" I started with a backround of a squirrel eating a nut, I then took a picture of a lion yawning. I selected the lion's mouht with the lasoo and drag and droped it onto the squirrel backround . I used almost all of the transforme tools to adjust the mouth to make it fit as best as possible; including rotate, scale, perspective and skew. I took another picture of a bat with its wings open, and selected one and drop it onto the squirrel. i had to make a layer of the squirrels back and head so i could put the wings under its body. On the farthest wing i made it a bit darker and gave it a gaussian blur to make it look more realistic. I also went into the variations and made both the wings mnore yellow so they looked like they belonged in the picture. Finally I blured the back into the wings and smuged the wing to stretch onto the back.
