e image of themselves. These lyrics will be manipulated so that they show depth. Students will use the new techniques utilizing text paths and layers to complete the project.

Portraits

Portrait photography can be tough at first because the human face changes from moment to moment. Capturing the best moment requires some persistence and skill, but learning the basics isn't too difficult and can improve the quality of your portraits significantly. Here's a quick overview of what we're going to cover:

• Use shallow depth of field to keep your subject in focus and your background out of focus. If you have a DSLR, certain lenses (like a 50mm or 85mm prime lens) will be more effective.
• Compose your photo well, drawing the eye to the right places and using an interesting setting to create a more interesting portrait.
• Consider color regardless of whether or not the final photo will be in color.
• Make sure you have good lighting, whether you're relying on available light or using an artificial setup.
• Keep your subjects engaged (capture that moment you are looking for, maybe a certain emotion, or facial expression) Capture their personality

Students will be assigned a celebrity, of which they will closely examine their portrait.As they work in pairs. They will answer the following questions. Once they have finished, we will share thoughts, ideas, and opinions with the class.

Questions:

1. What kind of expression\mood is being displayed? How do you know? (Talk about the posture, lighting, setting, etc)

2. If you were to have a re-shoot (meaning you were going to conduct your own photo shoot with this person), what would you change? Why?

3. Now, think about yourself. Ask your partner, and classmates for ideas. What would your self-portrait look like? Where would it be? Lighting? Setting? Posture? and Why?

Photoshop Painting Techniques

Students will learn about the quality of a brush stroke. They will be using photoshop filters to bring out the detail in their image, and then use painting techniques to create a digital painting.

Filter

Try using filters to create the mood: Filter, Render, Lens Flare or Lighting Effects
You can select an overall color tone to set the "mood" of the scene. Remember to layer you brushes to create dimension.

Also can use water brushes to create a sense of being in the moment. Also, new layers, and do multiple to create dimension. Note, example is not finished!!
