This week's classwork---work on faces

We will be taking pictures of everyone in the class and experimenting with different techniques in PhotoShop using these photos. Start a folder entitled (your identification number) and "faces". By the end of the week, you'll have 12 pictures to put on a contact sheet and turn in. This will count as a project grade.
On Monday, we made two backgrounds by using Liquify on random photos. We also used Liquify to make four silly faces. On Tuesday, we explored the asymmetrical nature of our own faces by putting two left halves together and two right halves together. All the faces should be placed on the two liquified backgrounds we made. Beginning on Wednesday, you will work on creating six "new" people by combining the features of your classmates. You should clean them up and make them convincing. Each of the 12 faces you have created should be placed on a background. On Friday, you'll make a contact sheet to turn in for a project grade.
