Photomanipulation

Our class finished up our environmental design, and have now been introduced to photomanipulation, which is combining multiple photographs to make something new.  We watched a few speed-art videos on youtube of Alexander Koshelkov's work to show students some dynamic photomanipulations created using the same software we use.  We then had a practice run with free-use pictures off the internet.  Today we watched a short TED talk featuring Erik Johansson and his work, and students began planning and sketching what their final photomanipulation project will look like.  After planning, students will take photographs of the elements they want to use for their final image, then will use Adobe Photoshop to combine them into photomanipulations with content created entirely themselves.
