Anamorphics

    For our anamorphic unit, we started out in the computer lab. We chose an image, and made it so that it only looked normal at a certain angle, and every other angle it looked distorted. The next day in the art room, we transferred the printed version to our sketch book using the 1 inch grid method. Some people added shadows to give it the effect of popping off the page. 

      To make our drawings come to life, we chose one person's to draw out with chalk. We chose cara's dalmatian, from 101 dalmatians.

       To start out, we had to redraw the grid on the parking lot, then draw out the dog square by square. We colored the body of the dog yellow and made all of the spots differnet colors

 

     

      At the end we added a shadow for effect. 

Post-it note portraits

Our main picture was of Paul Walker. One day in the comupter lab, we used photoshop to edit the photo and add a gradient using the colors of Post-It notes, as well as making it a grid. 

Almost completed- we spent around 3 days of art class putting
together the differnt colors, and trying to mke them flow well.

Photography questions

1.What does DPI stand for?
Dots per inch

What's the difference between a low DPI like 72 and a high DPI like 600?
DPI is a measure of the number of dots that will fall side by side along one inch, the higher the DPI the better quality the printed resolution. 600 would be much better than 72.

2. What is an aperture?
An opening, hole, or gap.

What do the different f stop settings mean?
That there are different fractions of the focal length of a lens on the camera

3. What is shutter speed?
the time for which a shutter is open at a given setting

What difference does it make?
The longer the shutter is open, the more light gets into the lens

4. What is ISO in photography?
the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. Lower=less, higher=more
