LESSON THIRTY-SIX

http://qrcode.kaywa.com/

Click on the link above in order to go to the Kaywa QR Code Generator website. A QR code is a quick response code created by the Japanese. They are now being used in all kinds of advertising.  You've probably seen some of them in magazines, on TV, on products themselves. To the left you will see a QR code that I have created.  If you happen to have a smart phone with a QR code reader on it as I do, you would be able to read what this says.  By the way it says,
"I hope everyone does well on this project."  So this is your assignment for today.  Go to the Kaywa website and familiar yourself with creating QR Codes. The more text you have in your code, the more difficult it is for the reader to read it.  I would keep the text short and simple.  Once you feel comfortable with creating the codes, then let's have some fun with  them.  Go online and find several photos that you want to add a funny caption to.  Create the text for your desired caption and then the QR Code.  Copy and paste this QR Code onto the photo.  You may want to add a border, spots of color if black and white, or even a caption bubble in which you'll paste the QR Code.  Need I even remind you to keep it clean?  I hope not.  Well good luck on your codes.  You will be seeing them again tomorrow on your final exam.

LESSON THIRTY-FIVE

Here is your next assignment after having done your Superhero animation.  Find a picture online and place it in a frame.  The background should  be totally black.  Then create a candle with a flame and place it in front of the picture.  Animate the flame of the candle and the lighting on the frame. This animation should be no larger than 500 x 500 pixels. That's it  Good luck.

LESSON THIRTY-TWO

Here is an actual child's drawing that I found online.  This will be the last chance for you to practice before we start on the drawings done by the third graders at Evergreen Elementary.  Copy and paste it into PhotoImpact.  Render it as exactly as possible in 3-D like we have done for the last few days.  No part of the drawing or the background can be showing.  It has to be all covered with either 3-D colors or textures.  I would stay away from using the fills of landscapes or photographs.  Notice the elephant's tail.  It is only one single thin line.  You may need to widen it some with two lines instead of one so that you can fill it with color. Please take your time in doing this.  Some of you are doing this type project the best that I have ever seen while others are doing it as quickly and as sloppily as I have ever seen.  Before we send these pictures off to be printed in book form, they will have to be approved by me.  There is no need to complain if I ask you to do part or all of it over.  If you have problems with this we can discuss it with Mr. Green who has told me that he will come in and speak to our class to stress the importance of doing your best work for this project.  By the way, the project will also serve as part of your final exam grade.  Good luck.

LESSON THIRTY-ONE

Tired of working with sketches of cartoon characters in order to do your 3-D characters?  Well today you'll be using a photograph.  Go online and choose a photo of something or someone you'd like to work with.  Import it to PhotoImpct and use the same process as the two days before.  Catrina is the best student at doing these that I've ever seen.  Being the only advanced student, perhaps she will help up out today and show some examples of her work or perhaps give a pointer or two.  Good luck.
