DRY MEDIUM PRACTICAL

I have asked students, to step out of their comfort zones, for this lesson all students are asked to do a self portrait. the reference they are going to use is one that is taken using their own technology. I figure if they want to use their phones SO bad why fight it.  So i allow them to take a self portrait with their phones (using very specific parameters having to do with light source and value) and they E-mail it to themselves or me and manipulate the image using any number of desktop publishing software, I showed how to use PowerPoint because I like its size manipulation capabilities.

Students received a grade for manipulating their image to a specific sizes , then made it B&W then adjusted the value for the project.
