The computer as a painting medium

Use Photoshop to create one painting of your own design.

You can use one of your scanned images as a tracing template to paint on top of it.

Create 5 variations of your painting with filters and styles.

Use an 800x800 pixels canvas and Save your image as a jpeg (jpg) file.

Make sure to use as many of the painting tools available in Photoshop.

The goal of this assignment is to familiarize you with the painting tools and capabilities of computers.

Don't be too concerned with creating the most realistic painting ever. Pay attention to the overall composition and try to do the best you can. You can create either a representational or abstract painting.

The following examples are made by advanced students and are good representations of the effective use of the tools.
