D1

2 class periods plus homework time.

Begin by scanning or acquiring at least 20 photos and save them to your flash drive.

Now make a new project in Photoshop that dimensions of 20 x 15.
Using fragments from every photo that you collected, create an ambitious new image / composition. 

Suggested subjects might be to create a landscape, cityscape, still life, or portrait.  Regardless of the subject, you should use good judgment and what you know about the elements and principles of design. 

Your compositions should not be flat.  You need to create a sense of deep space in the picture.
You will be using the polygon lasso tool and possibly the magic wand tool and marquee tools to select the fragments.  The Edit, Copy, and Edit, Paste onto your new project.  Doing this will create new layers.  You may rearrange the layers and even use layer adjustments and color adjustments, but you may NOT use filters, shape tools, dodge and burn, text, or brushes.

These need to be ambitious projects.  To earn an A, you need to scan at least half of your source images, create a visually interesting and complex and though provoking composition, follow the rules of the assignment, and use class time wisely.
