The main purpose of this lesson is to learn how color theory can be applied to create a self portrait using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Each student will choose a unique portrait of themselves and use Photoshop to trace the outlines of their face. Contour lines will outline the face as well as the highlights and shadows. The image will be placed into Illustrator and converted into a vector image and colored with a chosen color theory learned in class. The student will learn the difference between a Rasterized and Vector Image and develop their skills using the drawing tablet and stylus. (tutorials available)
The student will use a step by step instruction packet designed to teach them to follow written instruction and apply them to a project.
