Pupil Work Stage 7 Write down some basic facts as to how you can show influence of your critical study work within your image editing work. Then, using the next few slides and activities, begin to understand how you can use your imagination and knowledge to make this happen.
Warhol-esqueWarhol-esque Here is the original Photo. To use it to create an Andy Warhol inspired image, find a filter that generates a ‘gradient map’. This is an easy filter to find and use in Photoshop. In Gimp, you simply need to remember to choose a gradient using the ‘Blend’ tool (found in Gimp’s toolbox). Then, go to the drop down menu of ‘Colours’ then ‘Map’ and finally ‘Gradient Map’. This will create your first cat image that has been generated from the colours of your chosen gradient. Click on the photo to find out more. This is the first Warhol style image I have created. In this instance, it has been made from a gradient of rich yellow, leading into deep green. I then saved my picture as a different file name and opened up the original image again. I then passed it through the gradient map filter for a 2 nd time, using a different gradient. I repeated this process again, and then for a fourth, final time. I then resized the canvas of this fourth, Warhol inspired version of my cat, making it twice as tall and twice as wide. I copied and pasted my other, Warhol inspired cat pictures onto this canvas, as Andy Warhol himself might have done.
Here is an image inspired by the artist Salvador Dali. A crazy composition like this can easily be put together by understanding some of the basic image editing techniques explained in the video tutorials that accompany this presentation.
I have added some special effects to my flying cat picture. Which one of these variations do you think Salvador Dali would have chosen, and why do you think this is? Click on the picture to viewClick on here to continue further
