TURN IN STOCK PHOTOS

Today we will finish editing our stock photos and turn in our contact sheet. Name your contact sheet Lastname_Firstanme_StockPhotos.jpg or something similar. The lastname_Firstname is the important part. Make sure to save your file as a JPG!



Steps for running a contact sheet, in case you forgot:
1. Click FILE--> Automate--> Contact sheet II
2. Click Files and Browse
3.Select the files you want to include by holding control and clicking each one you want.
4. Leave the middle section of the menu alone- you only change the bottom section.
5. Change the columns and rows setting to 5 and 8.
6. Click OK, and hands off! Let Photoshop run.

When you are finished...
The end of the quarter is around the corner. You can get 20 points of extra credit to pad your grade! Some of the ways you can get points, just to remind you:

-Visit APimages.com and browse their collection. Pick an image you like. Write a 1 page critique based on the elements of art. (We did this in class- it's easier than it sounds! Go through and discuss what textures you see, what kind of shapes are present, what forms are present, the color schemes used- if any, any leading lines in the photo, what kind of value the image has, and the photographer's use of space. Use your element book as a guide! Use those key words.)

-Play in Photoshop. It is always good practice. Make a collage page of something you like!
-Visit an art gallery and write a page on what you see. Literally describe what pictures you see, who the artist is, what you like or do not like, etc.
-Take extra photos or make an extra version of any project we do.
