Homework Due 04/08/08
Finish Critiquing classmates' images of Project 2 on blog by Friday.
Post poem for final project on blog.
Think of design/concept.
Do Illustrator Lesson 7.
Next week:
Finish Collaborative Presentations (if projector is working)
Lecture about artists books/typography/combining text with images/using text in Illustrator.
The Final Project using Illustrator & Photoshop:
“Book: Poem Visualization"
We'll be looking at different forms of the "artist's book". This will include older and contemporary works that show a range of interpretation and different possibilities to explore. Consider these concepts as a point of departure. The completed project will be a book (either handmade or digitally presented) which is based on a poem of your choice. You'll consider the use of typography and text as critical visual components and create visual imagery which enhances and interprets the poem and the presentation of the poem. The concept and design of the book (it's form and structure) should directly relate to your 'interpretation' of the poem. This does not have to be in a traditional book format. You should think 'outside the "book"'!
Guidelines: incorporate both Illustrator or Photoshop.
have at least 8 images (including front and back covers).

Post In Class Assignment: Bird on blog
Bird Assignment: Using the pen tool in Illustrator trace a photographic image of a bird from the web. Think of how you would create an image using only construction paper, you build from backgrond to foreground, adding more and more detail as you go along. Apply this same approach in Illustrator, start with the shape of the background (rectangle, square, circle, etc), fill in the background color, then move on to the outline of the bird, and finally continue to add more and more detail of the bird. Below is a visual of the assignment. The "illustrated" bird is not complete but its close.

Collaborative Presentation
Collaborative Presentation Project
Concept
A collaborative project in which two (to three) people will conceive of a curated exhibit which describes and provides information about two (or more) artists whose work is relevant to the discussions in our textbook: "Digital Art", by Christiane Paul.
The two artists must be working in different media and/or using digital media in different manners and could be, but not necessarily, working at different points of time. For example: Nancy Burson (Digital Imaging-Photography and Print) and Grahme Weinbren (interactive-narrative video).
The artists should be selected based on a thoughtful comparison of similarity and difference. The similar and different elements can be visual, aesthetic, contextual, conceptual, technical. Much as you studied the work of Frida Khalo and Cindy Sherman to develop a thoughtful paper which compared and contrasted their media, concepts, imagery, etc. you should research the text and online sources for two 'digital' artists whose work could offer a similar challenge in comparative dialogue. You should research artists outside of our text book extending your investigation of digital art.
Based on your readings and research, you should select artists who meet the standards/concepts described above. You will need to prepare an oral presentation with visuals of approximately 10-15 minutes using a presentation program (such as PowerPoint) as well as a paper* describing your concept/theme. You should create a 'title' for your 'exhibit' which relates to its theme. You should present examples of the artists' work which help to explain the theme.
Project Requirements
1. Research beyond the Digital Art Textbook
2. Meaningful and compelling choice of artists; your choice of artists to compare should not be one made by Christiane Paul in the Text
3. Prepare oral presentation with visuals in PowerPoint of approx. 15 minutes
4. Presentation should include: A title relevant to your theme
A paragraph stating basic theme/rationale for choices
Visual examples which clarify your theme
Research Sources
*5. Approximately 500 word paper which describes why you chose your artists, the educational value of your 'exhibit', which artist's works are in the exhibit, how the work of the collaboration was divided (who did what), and a list of resources (bibliography).
Project Assessment/Criteria
The quality of the comparison and artist choice.
The development of the overall theme or concept of the exhibit.
The rational for the theme and the artists.
The presentation: information, visuals.
Due Date
Due on the 9th week of semester (March 25).

Project 2:
PhotoShop Digital Image Collage [Self Visualizaation]
Project Concept
Your concept should be of a self-portrait which is a composition of three aspects of your personality/persona. You are encouraged to take risks and experiment.
The image can be an abstract, surreal or realistic interpretation, or one which is a combination of those styles or approaches.
Consider the following while developing your concept:
—your feelings about and views of your body
—those aspects of your persona that may work together or in opposition or in states of change
—your relationship to your world, your family, friends, environment, job, school, etc.
—color, light, form, etc. that you will use to make your 'statement' about yourself
Specifically, you will create a large work in a collage format that uses your digital images and, optionally, other media. This can be a wall piece, a free-standing "sculpture", or combination of these. Craftmanship is important in constructing the work.
You'll begin with the digital photo(s) of yourself as a starting point to develop a more complex self-portrait visually and contexturally. You need to include three environments for your body photos which suggest the present, the past, and the future. You can include scenery, other people, objects. However, the main focus will be your body in some form. The image could be a metamorphosis, a transition, and or composed of separate states.

DIGITAL IMAGING STUDIO PROJECT: Photoshop
" Photo Alteration: [Film Still Visualization]"
You will use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate and alter photographs. Many artists use the computer to alter the 'reality' of photography and create an image that intrigues and compells. Each of the three artists listed below [Gregory Crewsdon, Jeff Wall, and Cindy Sherman] work with photographic techniques that include staged shots and may include computer manipulation. Study their work and ideas.
You will take three digital photographs of a setting that you create or manipulate in some manner and select one of these to alter in two different ways, using Photoshop's imaging tools. Each alteration should create an obvious and compelling change—this could be in mood, time of day, activity, etc. The two alterations should be quite different from one another and offer a unique view of the same "place/situation". Your original photographs can be interior or exterior shots; they may include people, objects, animals or be land, sea, or sky scapes. You will submit the original photo and the two altered images for the completed project in electronic and printed formats.

A Journal (Portfolio) which should include the following over duration of semester:

Adobe Classroom in a Book Photoshop CS3
Adobe Classroom in a Book Illustrator CS3
Digital Art by Christiane Paul
Shop around.
Also needed is a:
Portable Hard drive
Or a Flash Drive
Get something with at least 2GB on it. If you think you'll go into photography, graphic design, film, or anything you might be using the computer quite a bit for, it might be worth it for you to go ahead and invest in something more like a portable hard drive with over 80GB of space.
Let me know if you need any suggestions or help.
