Week 4: 9/18- 9/22
Friday - 9/22:
1. Find a tutorial for Photoshop that you can do from start to finish. (make sure it from Adobe CC 2022)
* Challenge yourself.
* This tutorial should teach us all something new.
* Remember to watch the entire tutorial to make sure it is something you can actually MASTER and TEACH!
* I must approve your tutorial, so see me when you think you have selected a skill to teach. Please follow these guidelines below.
A. FOLLOW THE RUBRIC....after you've read the rubric then proceed to step #2.
B. Be realistic...your tutorial shouldn't take 6 weeks to master. Find something challenging, but manageable. Face Swap is always a popular one. First come first serve.
C. Ask your classmates or see me to see if any of them have chosen the same tutorial. You may not do the same thing to teach to each other.
2. Complete the project and MASTER the skill. You must be able to show the class how to do the skill and answer questions about it as well.
3. Teach the class how to do your chosen project without using the original tutorial.
* You will get in front of class and use the teacher computer and projectors to show your skill to the class.
* You will take the class from start to finish and answer their questions as you go.
* When choosing your lesson, remember that your classmates need to be able to complete it in 1 single class. (2 hours)
* You must have a handout for your peers and Mr. Philip as a guideline for your skill.
* Send me any images you will be using in your session, so I can make them available to the class.
You will be graded on:
1. The original product that you complete using the tutorial (using the Photoshop assignment rubric)
2. The lesson you give in class (remember this needs to be able to be completed in 1 class session)
3. The handout you create for your classmates.
4. The difficulty of the skill. If you choose to show us how to create a line you will struggle on this project.
Challenge yourself and your classmates and remember REVIEW THE RUBRIC!
I am attaching some links as resources for Photoshop tutorials, but remember to verify that the tutorial you choose is Adobe CC 2022. You may find your own resource, but these links will at least give you a place to start. Click on the buttons below to be directed to the links.
