Digital Painting: Creating Texture

LEARNING TARGETS:

»  I can use and manipulate layers and masks in Adobe Photoshop.
»  I can adjust brushes to create a specific texture using Adobe Photoshop. 
»  I understand the responsibilities and ethics associated with publishing to the internet

 

EXPECTATIONS:

»  CREATE:  Using the eye dropper, create a pallet of main colors needed. 
»  CREATE:  Reproduce the reference image by painting in the provided area.
»  REFLECT:  Document the whole process in your blog and reflect what you learned.
