    by

One thing that seems like it might help is simply practice.

    by
    Common Everyday Object: I admit that I just used a filter for this one, specifically “False Color” and chose dark red as the primary color, and light blue as the secondary color.

    Splash

    by
    Here’s a “Splash of Color” I used Pixelmator, a cheaper Photoshop alternative available from the Mac App Store. I selected everything but the blue part, then used the sponge tool to desaturate the image.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/86191482@N05/sets/72157631664226759/ I ended up doing this in my dorm room, because I would have felt conspicuous taking a bunch of photos in the middle of campus. I am not usually very imaginative with spur of the moment things like this, I had a hard time coming up with things that fit the criteria. Although I ...

    by
    http://inspire.ds106.us/yam-trek-star-yam/ As a Trekkie, this one was very interesting. I’m not sure if it is a ‘story’ it is a single still image, but it does convey a message. It might be part a larger story.

    What is Storytelling

    by
    For me storytelling is exactly what it says on the tin, telling a story. It brings to mind people sitting in a circle, maybe around a campfire, sharing stories with words and gestures. Or it could be one person standing in front of a group doing the same thing. People might use visual aids, or ...

    Weekly Summary #1

    by
    I really enjoyed the video from Robert Hughes it was just different enough from what I expected. I liked the comment about how art is changing, it made me think of how impressionism wasn’t originally art, and how Vincent van Gogh died before seeing his work become famous, yet now impressionist work is considered art and van ...
