I EXPECT ORIGINAL IMAGES. IMAGES THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN WILL RESULT IN LOWER or FAILING GRADE ON ASSIGNMENT. You may use Creative Commons for things like a lion or fire or wave, but you must use them in an intentional and transformative way. PLAN-What is your INTENT?
We will be using www.photopea.com unless you have Photoshop on your personal computer. Yes, there are apps that do this, but this is an exercise in basic digital image manipulation so you may not use an app to do the work for you. While video tutorials are great, here are some text tutorials.
