LESSON TWENTY-THREE

I hope you enjoyed doing your first animation yesterday.  Most of you did a great job.  Well today you're going to do your second one.  I did this tutorial and I refer to it as a construction/deconstruct technique.  Copy mine or do one similar to it with your own personal taste.  The one I did took 20 frames.  This is nothing.  I have done some with about 100 frames.  Don't go over 250 pixels in either direction.  Good luck.  Be sure to create a folder to store all your frames in and then the finished animated gif as well.  Save this folder in your personal folder on the computer not in My Documents.

Unfortunately your blog will not allow you to upload your animated gifs in your post so be sure to upload them to your personal folder - not into My Documents.

Good luck.

ASSESSMENT TIME

Tomorrow we will begin working with animations.  Before we do I need to assess your ability to work with the tools that you have been introduced to thus far.  So you are going to be asked to do two pictures for me.  One will show me your photo manipulation skills while the second will be one in which you will show me your drawing and text skills.

ASSESSMENT ONE:
Do a picture using at least two photographs.  I expect you to maniputlate these photos in some way.  Here are some of the tools and techniques you may decide to use:  lasso tool, crop tool, blending tool, eyedropper tool, transparency tool, clone tool, color spot, and easy palette.  There should be some cutting out of one photo and blending it into the other.  I want this picture to look as seamless as possible.  It should look like one photograph.  Upload this picture to your blog and label it as Assessment One.  Also list the tools and techniques that you used as well in your post.

ASSESSMENT TWO:
In this picture you are to show me your drawing skills.  You will use such tools as the path drawing tools, paint brush, air brush, z-merge, 2-D and 3-D shapes, text, etc.  You should not use a photograph in this picture at all.  It should all be drawing and text.  Upload this to your blog and label it as Assessment Two and make sure you list all the tools and techniques that you used in the post as well.

Good luck.

Mr. Hewett
