Crafts Class- Weaving Continued



Below's lesson instructions were adapted from http://afaithfulattempt.blogspot.com/.

Crafts Class- Weaving Continued...

PAPER WEAVING WITH A TWIST

What you will be creating:  Students, you will be creating a drawing made from two artworks.  The process will combine two of your artistic creations, into one masterpiece through weaving. 

Directions:  
First, you will need to find an image on the computer.  The image should be copied and pasted into Microsoft word and resized to fit the entire sheet of computer paper.  You will need to print the image out 2 times.

Second, you will watch Mrs. Hurd's tracing demonstration and copy the image to "good" drawing paper two times.  This will result in two exactly identical drawings.  See example below.

Third, you will color each of the two drawings slightly different.  You may choose to use two different color schemes, or for each picture.Related image

Fourth, you will make one of the artworks the warp, and one of the artworks the weft.  You will then weave them together to create one original work of art.


Fifth, sign and date the bottom right corner of your artwork, and turn in to Mrs. Hurd.

Selection Tools...The Basics


Computer Assisted Art

Directions:
1.  Right Click and save image as a jpeg to your student folder
2. Open the program Adobe Photoshop on the computer
Create a new file that is 8.5 inches x 11 inches, and 150 ppi


3.  We will be using the selection tools for this exercise.  The selection tools are located next to each other.  We are going to use them all for this project.  Some of them will be much easier than the others, but it is important that you try them all.


The first group of selection tools is called "Marquee Tools".
Rectangular and elliptical marquee tools will let you make rectangular or circular selections.
Single row and Single column tools will let you select a row that is 1 pixel high or a column that is 1 pixel wide.
Use the Elliptical Marquee tool to select the circle

To make a round selection you just click and drag the cursor over the area that you want to select.
Try it.
If you want to select a perfect circle (or a perfect square) hold SHIFT while dragging.
If you want to start your selection from the center out hold Option (Alt) button.
If you want both of these options (perfect circle drawing from the center) hold both keys.
Try it!!!
Now zoom in the area with the blueberry. Select it.


Duplicate the two shapes, and now you should have two eyes.
