Photo Editing
THE CHALLENGE: Create photos that aren't what they appear to be using an Image Editor such as Affinity Photo.
OR
THE CHALLENGE: Make the impossible possible with the magic of image editing. Put a polar bear on the beach. Put a baby's head on an old man. Make yourself walk through fire. Be creative!!
THE DETAILS:
Begin by becoming familiar with Affinity Photo. A tutorial is linked below.
Come up with a creative idea for your project that will make things look CRAZY!!
You will use the layering technique in Affinity. Layer one image over the other and erase the background/extras to make it look like one layer looks much larger than the other!
Once completed, export your image as a .jpeg so that you can slide it onto your presentation slides.

STEAM U Levels:
GREEN CIRCLE (1 PT.)
Presentation is completed but communicates no information about how the image editing was done, the tools used or of the skills needed in order to complete the project.
Project is completed but done on a limited basis. Very few tools used in the image editing in order to make the final image. For example: It looks like one image was just layered on top of another image
BLUE CIRCLE (2 PTS.) IN ADDITION TO ALL IN THE GREEN CIRCLE....
Presentation communicates at least 4 tools used from Affinity to edit your image.
Presentation does a nice job communicating the steps you took in order to complete your image.
Final project is well executed and has the feeling of 'looking real'.
At least 2 images are completed in a 10 day project.
The resources and tutorials below are viewed. The learning of the Affinity or image editing application is done without first asking Mr. Wolfe. Your problem solving skills are apparent.
BLACK DIAMOND (3PTS) IN ADDITION TO ALL IN THE GREEN CIRCLE AND BLUE SQUARE...
Numerous images (at least 5) are completed in your time showing an advanced knowledge and skill of the tools available and ability to use them.
There is a theme to your images. There is a connection from one image to another that represents a purpose of your work.
Your 'portfolio' of work has a title that helps communicate the purpose of your work.
Your presentation includes screenshots that help communicate at least 10 tools used in affinity that you used to help make your final images 'look real'.
Use at least 1 very seldom used tool and tell us what it is in your presentation.
