Computer Graphics Challenge

MonaSubmitted by: Ann Carol Goldberg, art teacher in Rochester, New York.

My Commercial art students are learning Adobe Photoshop and Freehand on Power Macs. They of course, get caught up in color. To reinforce the use of black and white, the lesson went like this, and was very successful. Challenge-create an image in Photoshop using three elements, working in grayscale only.

 

Concepts Covered

  • Geometric shapes

  • Text an additional item of your choice, such as a scanned image or drawn image. You may apply filters or effects to create a black and white finished product which was printed on a Techtroniks printer.

The students had the whole 2 ½ hour session to complete the task and all did quite well. Many went on to try new ideas and completed several examples during the rest of the week.

 

Resources

Adobe Photoshop can be bought at the Adobe Software Page.

Other graphics software:

  • CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 Education Edition. - The student edition is here.
