Week 1

This is a test for me to assess your level of experience and needs for this class. For this

assignment please use any programs you know or seem the most appropriate to completing each part. If you know that you know nothing when it comes to using a computer--see me, and you will be asked to print images and survey and complete assignment by hand.

Part One:

Download the attached image. (image97.jpg above)

Use a program(s) of your choice to manipulate the image in such a way that you can call it a work of art created by you. Make the image have a new emphasis, effect and impact that shows your voice above and beyond mine.

In doing this please show me your technical skills. Use your technical skills to make your concept clear and your work visually exciting.

Part Two:

Do a google image search for your name. You will be surprised by some of the results... Download at least two images to work with. Combine images into one new picture/image. Add text or letters in some way. Manipulate (cut, copy, colorize...) and work with the images to say something about your self.

Part Three:

After completing parts one and two (be sure to save your work and often). Email me your results (along with source images --minus my orginal picture) as attachments along with your response to the survey below (to this email address). (Survey should be in the body of the email.) Please complete this work by Friday, five o'clock.

Survey:

1. Tell me your name and a little about you yourself.

2. How and why did you choose Moore?

3. Tell me about your two image projects. Part one what do see as the new emphasis in your picture? Part two why did you choose the images you used? What do you hope the audience will see and understand in your new image?

4. Part one how did you acheive your results? Part two, how did you acheive your results?

5. Tell me about your prior experience with computers. How would you describe you computer abilities and knowledge (i.e., no knowledge, general familiarity, skilled surgeon)? What programs do you have experience with and to what degree?

6. What would you like to get out of this class (please describe general or specific goals)?
