Surreal Environment L2 File Setup and Create Room
1. Lesson Goals
SWBAT:
• ANALYZE examples of LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
• Use Linear Perspective to create the illusion of 3D Space and Form in a room interior image
• Use advanced Photoshop skills to create and edit image layers
2. Learn About 1 Point Perspective
3. Horizontal Set Up File
1. Load ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
2. File > New.
3. Name: "Surreal Environment" followed by a space, your last name and then your first.
Example: Surreal Environment Hooker Martina
4. Enter all of the other settings you see to the left
Vertical Composition Measurements:
Width: 10 Inches
Height: 15.75 Inches
4. Add 3 Vertical Guides
1. Add 3 vertical guides to define the left and right edges of your back wall and the vanishing point.
GUIDE SET UP OPTIONS:
• Use the same guide placement as show left
• Place guides as you wish for a different effect,
5. Add a Horizontal Guide (Horizon Line)
Example left is at 3.5" on the Vertical Ruler
6. Lock Your Guides
1. Go to the View Menu to find the LOCK GUIDES option
7. Draw a Rectangle Guide for Back Wall
1. Select the rectangle tool and set the fill to none and the stroke to black in the options bar
2. Use the Rectangle Tool to draw a back wall shape and center it with the guides you created in section 4
8. Draw Diagonal Guides
1. Use the line tool to draw diagonal lines.
2. Make sure your diagonal lines connect to the vanishing point.
3. Make sure your guides intersect the corners of the back wall. (See red arrow)
4. Merge the 5 Shape layers into one layer
9. Copy and Paste a Texture or Pattern for The Floor or Ground
10. Tile & Merge to Create Oversized Layer
Period 6 Only
Complete Texture Tiling Exercise
SWBAT
1...Tile and merge small texture / patterns in order to maintain image quality
1. Feather edges to create seamless tiling
11. Transform to Diagonal Guides
1. Use the following 2 Transform options until you get the floor texture/pattern to line up properly to the diagonal lines.
• Edit > Transform > Perspective
For best results, only click on corner tabes with the Perspective Option• Edit > Transform > Distort
For best results, only click on center tabes with the Distort optionIt's ok if the layer is outside the canvas - do it so it looks right
12
1. Find a pattern or texture for your walls
PATTERN IDEAS: Fleur De Lis • Stripes • Argyle • Gingham • Madras
TEXTURE IDEAS: Marble • Wood Paneling • Concrete • Glass Brick
MORE IDEAS: Texture Ideas
13. Tile and Merge if Needed
Make your texture/pattern layer larger than needed
14. Transform to Guides
15. Duplicate Side Wall & Flip
1. Option Drag your side wall to make a copy of it.
2. Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal.
3. Position as needed
16. Create Another Wall & a Ceiling Layer Paint, Texture or Pattern
1. Create a NEW LAYER and name it "Back Wall" or "Ceiling" Etc.
2. Create a MARCHING ANT selecting
3. Fill with PAINT BUCKET or GRADIENT TOOL
17. Assessment
15 points --- ROOM LAYERS • There are 5 ROOM LAYERS (Floor, Ceiling, & 3 Walls) • TWO room layers are TEXTURE / PATTERNS • Layers have been TRANSFORMED to create the illusion of 3D Space & Form • The TEXTURE/PATTERN layers are NOT BLURRY • The transforming is done so that the diagonals CORRECTLY line up to the VANISHING POINT • Each room layer is in a SEPARATE LAYER
18. Submit
19. Make Up Work if Needed

What kind of lines help create the illusion of 3D space and 3D form?
.
NB Do Now 1/31
Diagonal Lines help create the illusion of 3D Space and 3D form. A rule of linear perspective is that they always connect to the vanishing point.
All other lines are either horizontal or vertical

(Period 6 Only)The back wall is 10 inches wide and image quality should meet the industry standard for full color printing. What is the minimum pixel dimension width needed for a pasted in image from the Internet?
NB Do Now 2/4
(Period 6 Only)The back wall is 10 inches wide and the industry standard for full color printing is 300 DPI (dots per inch) so the minimum pixel dimension width needed for a pasted in image from the Internet is 3000 pixels (10" x 300)..
