The Middle School Students had a mini lesson on Photoshop and how to create a mood. They were given three links - one to a Google page of Fauvist paintings, one to a Google page of Impressionist paintings and one to a Google page of landscape photographs. They were directed to find a painting that they were drawn to and then look for a photograph that had some of the same elements. Next, they were asked to edit the photograph using some quick editing tools and experiment trying to make their "painting" look like the Fauvist or Impressionist painting. We noted how the Impressionist paintings had more dotted brush strokes and muted colors. The Fauvist paintings were more colorfully vibrant and had more smeared brushstrokes. Here are a few examples of the students work as they posted it to their student blogs: Here, the first is the fauvist picture that inspired me, second is the photo that I found that looks a little similar, third is the one that I edited first, then the last one is the last one I did! The reason I used the photos I did was because I liked how they both looked like fields, even though the color might be different the landscape looks the same. With the hills and curves it shares like qualities. This project helped me express my creativeness at school which I think other schools don't get to do as much. - Leighann I thought that the pictures were very similar. What I saw that made me see similarity was the tree. They are different, because one is in water, and the color tones are different. They are also the same, because the skies both have clouds. They remind me of Up North. They do, because Up North, there is a lot of trees. That is the reason I choose these picture. The first image is my edited version that I did. The second one is the original, and the third was my inspiration. - Katherine
