Something Old, Something New- Photoshop Exercise

Found on: http://imgfave.com/view/3179345

For this assignment students will choose a classical painting and give it a modern twist. 

Students will need to photograph the background or elements they will be adding to their painting. The images will need to be color matched and match in texture as well. This may be achieved through adding grain filters, a slight gaussian blur and by using layer filters. Please feel free to research some tutorials for techniques. 

Students will have two classes to complete this exercise. The final image will need to be saved to the class assignment folder as a print file (8X10 @ 300 dpi) and a web file (8X10 @ 72 dpi). Students will need to add the image to their blog with a description of the project, the steps they used to create the image as well as what they learned/struggled with.
