HOMEWORK FOR January 30th

Using  SUMOPAINT  create a series of four images 800x600px. Use brushes, layers, opacity, eraser, blending modes, and tool options to create your masterpieces. How you tie your series together is entirely up to you. It could be subject, texture, color, change, transformation, etc... Load all of your images on one post to the blog prior to class. Next week we will jump into photoshop and continue our exploration of the computer as an art making tool. Have fun with this assignment and be creative.

Feel free to use this critique sheet to explore the elements of art and principles of design
