Digital storytelling is a short presentation that allows people to tell their own stories using digital technology in a simple way. You can use photographs, add your own narration, mix poetry, music, etc. to express yourself, define who you are, or share something that is important to you. We will be viewing samples of digital stories. The first sample is called “With the Bomber or the Bombed.” This digital story is a first person narrative that incorporates personal photographs, found images, graphics, text and sound.

Your goal is to capture striking photos using opposite colors in your image. Here are some sample websites showing you how it can be done:
ASSIGNMENT:
- Go out and take artistic and creative pictures that are made up of complimentary colors.
- Like the photo examples on the links above, your photos should be almost completely made up of complimentary colors.

Week 7 Color Theory
To see how artists put these theories to real use, we are going to create a color chart using the art of SHAG.
In this project you will select a painting by the artist SHAG and develop a color chart of the artwork.
1. Go to the website: http://shag.com/gallery.html
and select a category.
2. Find a painting that you like, then right-click it and “Save picture as…” to save a copy to your Documents folder.
3. Start Photoshop, and then choose File > Open to open the image.
4. Go to Image > Image Size on the menu. On the “Document Size” settings, down at the bottom left hand side of the dialogue screen, uncheck the "Resample Image" box. Change the resolution from 300 to 72. This will increase the size of the image
5. You’ll want to add text and color swatches next to the painting, so you’ll need to enlarge the canvas or image area. Go to Image > Canvas Size on the menu. Double the height or width, then for the Anchor, click on the center top or left square. This will put the painting above or on the left side of the canvas and add a white background below or to the right for you to add your color swatches.
6. Select the Rectangle tool, then in the Properties bar below the menu, click the drop down arrow for geometry. Select “Fixed Size”, width and height equal .5 in.
7. You’re going to make a swatch for each color in the painting. Create some boxes to the side of the painting, then select one of the boxes by clicking it’s layer. Double-click on the color icon in the layer to open the color picker. Move your cursor over to the painting and click on a color to change the boxes color. Repeat this process until you have a swatch for every different color.
8. Organize the swatches so that similar hues are grouped together on the page.
9. Finally, using your text tool, type the color value next to each swatch using the hue, saturation and brightness values of each swatch in the color picker.
Questions:
How would you define the color values? Look at the hues. Are they similar, complimentary, analogous…? How did the artist use them to compose his picture? Write a paragraph analyzing your results and submit a JPEG to your Blog
