    This is our first computer art lesson and the students inro to PHotoShop. It
    works well. Hope it helps.

    Study Warhol's celebrity paintings and prints. Teach Photoshop basics via
    altering a photo of the teacher -- every students' dream assignment --
    graffiti the teacher! Our only stipulation is that it cannot include any
    thing that is against school rules or is in really poor taste!
    Create 4 alterrations, then combine them into one image.

    Next take high contrast digital photos of the students (work in teams of 2 -
    a photographer and the model) and create a 12 to 16 image version of
    "Yourself as a Pop Art Icon". We also include a review of color theory and
    the final image must use color to create a pattern - for example a gradation
    from saturated to neutral or perhaps a ring of warm images ont he outside
    moving to cool on the inside - lots of possiblilites here.

    I have some handouts and maybe some examples I could send you as attached
    files
    (Windows based - MS word 97 and PhotoShop files) . If you would like these,
    respond to my personal email.
