Digital Imagery - Color and Form (Using Photoshop Suit)


Digital Imagery



With the help of Digital Cameras and Photoshop Suit, my students create great art pieces, demonstrating excellent use of the program and using to the max the photos taken with a very regular camera. 



We are looking at:
  Direccion
  Depth
  Repetition
  Contrast
  Form
  Color
  Use of the Space

Students are to be aware and understand:
  Pixels (pictures elements)
  Color Gradation
  RGB
  Dimensions (expressed by pixels)
  Resolution (PPI - Printing good)

Students study and applied depth - perceiving these depths through shapes in order to keep viewers vision active. Seeing means grasping some outstanding features of objects,
like; the color of the sky, the curve of the long tree, the rectangularity of the object to the right, and so on. 

Depth comes from the correct use of the Principals of Art and Design. Through the manipulation of size, hue, focal points, gravity, hierarchy, and repetition. Now, the clever part here is to be completely aware of the space, an electronic flat space has really different characters than a piece of paper. 

Visual Solutions can be "practical" or "pragmatical" and in the majority of the cases, the good cases, you have both working sides by side.




The cameras were quite simple, although the picture has to be adequate for the task in mind, the manipulation has to happen by the correct use of the program.





The Color and Shapes
Expanding space in the search for depth




Students learn to use form and color
creating contrast and the power of the lines
in order to create an imaginary 3D art piece




Images are to be clean, 
balance with or without asymmetrical precision.
Controlling the chaos and inviting the viewer to the story.

A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

A Preface to a Creative Line A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm-up activity that will be suitable for every grade and every student Students on many occasions, when newly arrived at my Art classes, show negative feelings and little or not interest towards any manuality or freehand visual experience. Demonstrating cold, sometimes sinic expressions and unoleassent beahavior.  Except for those students who already have a heart for the arts. Surprisingly, the art class can move slowly and may be difficult.  However, all those feelings are just based on unawareness, fear of ownself capacities and potential, previous poor teaching, and very little or no exposure to the world of creativity and visual expression, the plastic (moldable) arts. It doesn’t matter if students arrive quiet, loud, timid, short or tall, fast thinkers or lacking self-confidence, they must be all welcome to experience the magic of the free line and colors, the amazing feeling of making visual displays ca...

I Play It All !

I play it all in each class. With each student of mine. I look at them closely, I see their eyes. I want to move their reason and heart. To bring life in each of their works of art.
