Throughout various photographing and editing projects students explored complimentary colors, colorful vs. neutral, and warm vs. cool colors.
"Where you want to be" Jar Edit
For this assignment students explored the composition rule of thirds to emphasize where they wanted to viewer to look in their photographs. Using this they photographs glass containers. From there they either used their own photographs or images found on the internet to portray the idea of "where they want to be". Using the online editing platform Pixlr, students practiced tools like the Mask tool, and different photo adjustments to create an image that is both personal and a little bit magical.
