Good morning everyone. Obviously, I'm out to day taking care of some family stuff. No worries though, that just means that you have a work day today! Keep grinding on Pacman with your sprites. If you lost your packet you can find the digital version here. If you are struggling with the animation, that is found here. I'll be back tomorrow so I can always help you then. Hope you have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Happy Thursday! With me out today for some family stuff, I have links for today's tasks linked below. So what would I like you today? Well first, the teacher should have a copy of the note sheet for the White Balance lesson. Please watch the video, fill in the notes and then turn in the note sheet to receive credit for doing it. That shouldn't take too long! There are a handful of you that still need to complete the Film Strip Collage which is due today. Start there if you haven't completed it yet. Then there's both of the spot exposure corrections from yesterday... Burn and Dodge. Today I have two global touch ups for you to fix exposure. They are linked below. Remember to use your photos for this! As always, we talk about how to do things in camera... use aperture to change the depth of field, but what if you want to change the depth after you have take the shot? I got ya! There is an assignment linked below for adding lens blur in Photoshop. Just choose one of your shots that has a large depth of field. If you have all of that done, you could work on the thumbnails for the calendar like we talked about yesterday. I draw an example starting around the 3 minute mark in the video if you need a refresher. I'll be back tomorrow so I can help you if you need it then! Have a great day!

Good afternoon everyone. I'm home today for my daughter but that doesn't have to stop you from getting things done! With the Notepad project officially behind us, you can now focus on entirely on the Screen Printing project. The steps are listed just below so where ever you are in the process, once one step is complete, move on to the next! Remember that both the Mat and Cutting Paper can be done out of order so if you can't expose a screen or coat your screen, you can jump ahead to one of these steps. Now if there is absolutely nothing that you can do for the Screen, you can always start the Vinyl project. I'll be back tomorrow so if you need help, I can catch up with you then or in AP tomorrow if you send me a message/email. Have a great day!
