special note for the MW section

I won't be in class Monday because I am giving a lecture at another school. To make up for it, you will need to attend the mid-term presentation/crits for AT LEAST FOUR of the graduating senior art majors.

To get credit for your blog, you need to write about the work and also what went on during the critique. Act as an arts reporter, since I won't be there: fill me in on everything I missed, and let me know your opinions about the work and the discussion as well!

I will be checking your sketches+proposals on your blogs so don't forget about the homework... check the class blog over the weekend for some examples of mail art and postcard design.

Mike, Merry, & Alice's photomontage

Both of these images were created by using two different scans. We used the sweetgum ball arrangement in both pictures, and we created the background for the images by moving a candycane and a Motts applesauce lid on the scanner.

Rachel, Carly, and Winnie's Scans

We gathered a rock, a pinecone, a leaf, a burr, a cigarette butt, a piece of a brick, and some paper. We made a scan montage out of that, and then we scanned a flyer while moving it to create the background. We added the flyer as a transparent layer in photoshop to make our masterpiece :)

Marc, Shinae, and Anne collected object from nature and scanned them into the computer. Then we scanned Shinae's glasses and collaged them into the original scan. Here is the resulting image:

Gina and Teresa's Fantastic Head

The skull came from Archeology magazine. The hair is scans of our wonderful hair. The thermmeter is a composit of two scans of a thermometer from the photolab. The static on the television is a scan of Teresa's awesome belt moving around. The 'water' on the bottom is a picture of a guitar moving around.

Ashley, Emily, & Elizabeth's Scan Project

In this scan we used a flyer for Jason Watson's art exhibition that we stole, a Now & Later wrapper we found in the trash, and a headscarf. We have a still headscarf scan as well as a still scan of the flyer and Now & Later wrapper. We overlapped a moving scan of the headscarf over the other still images.

Tom, Alexis and Cassie's Fun Scan

This is Tom, Alexis and Cassie's awesome scan! We used a leaf, Alexis' earrings, a brochure about the Baltimore Opera and a chinese food delivery bag, oh yes... and Tom's hands... We used the magnetic lasso, cropper, clone stamp, and even made a paint brush! We hope you enjoy our fun montage!
