1. Digital Collage art Portrait project
Using Shape in a new way

2. Digital Photography Vs. Digital Art with Photography
Digital Photography: Minor edits only- meaning no major changes as far as removing or adding subjects. The photograph stands depicting the image as it was seen in life.
Digital Art with Photography- Substantial changes in the photographic work. Items may be removed or added to create a new composition.

3. Collage
The art of assembling different pieces together to create a new image. Can be one medium or mixed media.

4. Types of Shapes A shape is an enclosed space and can be:
Organic-
Are shapes with a natural look and a flowing and curving appearance. 
Organic shapes and forms are typically irregular or asymmetrical.  
Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
Geometric
Are circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on - have the clear edges one achieves when using tools to create them. 
Most geometric shapes are made by humans, though crystals are also considered to be geometric despite the fact that they are made in nature. 
Types of Shapes A shape is an enclosed space and can be:

5. Texture
Texture is defined as the tactile quality of the surface of an object--how it feels if touched.
Actual texture refers to the tactile qualities of the physical surface of the object. In other words, how does the surface of the work feel when you touch it? 
Implied texture in artwork contains the illusion of actual textures. Like other implied formal elements it represents a material or object in the physical world. Implied texture is used to allow the viewer to enter into the scenario that the artist has created. It can also be used to give the viewer information about the object that is represented.
