Using this example image:
• Recreate the still-life set up of the block shapes in Photoshop.
• Apply the techniques we learned in class:
• Use the layers palette
• Use the brush tool: soft round brush, hard round brush, change the opacity when needed
• Use the gradient tool (select two paint colors: a light color and a dark color for shading help)
• Use the selection tool to help you make shapes (then use the paint bucket to add color)
• Open the image in Photoshop in one layer (change the opacity of the image in order to draw the shapes and see what you are drawing).
• Observe the shadows, highlights, cast shadows (use the Gaussian blue for the cast shadows)
• Add a horizon line to separate the background and the table top
•Take a screenshot image of your work and upload the image to NEO/Canvas for grading.
• Worth 25 points
Grading:
• Time, care, effort put into the assignment (assignment doesn't seem rushed)
• Individual digital art skill development
• Drew 5 shapes in Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator or AutoDesk Sketchbook
• Used gradient tool to fill in shapes with shadows and highlights or digitally drew the shapes
• Added cast shadows from the shapes
• Drew in horizon line
• Added a background
• Student used Photoshop
• Student used class time wisely to complete the assignment (stayed on-task and not distracted by devices)
