Photo Editing

Uses in the Classroom:
Students will search for a copyright friendly image of the United States in the early colonization era within the internet. As they discover their image, they will need to analyize the importance their image has for colonization. Using Photoshop students will change the image to depict the message they want their audience to understand. Changes can be of color, addition of text, or cropping. Once the students have finished they will print them out with the schools color printer and publish their photo by matting it within their Art Class. The publishing of this piece will include their name, image title, image source, and a short caption that relates to their message of early colonization.

Issues to Consider:
1. Student computers and district must be able to support Photoshop software.
2. Students should have some practice of software before using it to publish.
3. Images found by students must be approved by instructor. Looking for licensing/copyright information.
4. Student computers must be able to print out to local color printer. (District networking needed)
5. Art teacher and Core instructor may need to work together on this assignment since it may take time out of both classrooms.

Copyright:
The image below is an example of what students can do with their choices.
