Week 2

Welcome to week 2... I'm impressed with the posts reviewing work found on the Museum of Computer Art site... Keep checking out the work of other artists as we go along for inspiration and ideas... that is the best way to learn...

This week, you'll post images that have been subject to filter effects in Photoshop. If you do a google search, you will see that there is a mountain of information and resources available out there... One good one that has been around a long time is here: http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/filter/filter.htm#artistic If you have been shooting your own digital images and would like to work with them as a starting point, great! If not, not to worry... go to Google images and search for images there... since you will be radically transforming them, they become yours pretty quickly! You don't need to follw the aJaynee one.. there are thousands out there...

-Next create an "Andy Wharhol" portrait following this tutorial: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/or/warhol-pop-art-silkscreen.html

Warhol chose pop icons like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to reduce to simple and large silkscreen effects... You can use either a family member or choose your own pop icon from a search in Google images...

Post an example to the blog and put the rest in your fotothing account try to post 8 examples or more by next Tuesday from both projects... Have fun!
