THE PLAN
5 sessions; 75 minutes per session
1. SWBAT understand how to combine images together to create a new layered image
2. SWBAT take multiple photos from one stationary camera
3. SWBAT remove backgrounds from photographic images
1. Cameras
2. Tripods
3. Computers with Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or another similar photo editing software
1. Teacher shows examples of 'clone project' from years past or pulled from online sources
2. Teacher demonstrates how to take photos using a camera and a timer from a tripod
3. Teacher stresses importance of a stationary tripod camera for this project.
4. Students take multiple images of themselves either by themselves or with a partner
5. Teacher demsonstrates composition techniques using a digital image software
6. Students use a digital imaging software to layer their multiple photos together to create a singe image.
1. Did students have at least 5 images of themselves?
2. Is composition seamless so that you cannot tell where photos are seamed together?
3. Were all photos taken at the same time so that lighting matches throughout?
Visual Arts Standard 1: Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes

[9-12 Advanced] Students demonstrate the ability to compare two or more perspectives about the use of organizational principles and functions in artwork and to defend personal evaluations of these perspectives
[9-12 Advanced] Students create multiple solutions to specific visual arts problems that demonstrate competence in producing effective relationships between structural choices and artistic functions
Visual Arts Standard 3: Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and ideas
[9-12 Proficient] Students reflect on how artworks differ visually, spatially, temporally, and functionally, and describe how these are related to history and culture
[9-12 Proficient] Students apply subjects, symbols, and ideas in their artworks and use the skills gained to solve problems in daily life
[9-12 Advanced] Students evaluate and defend the validity of sources for content and the manner in which subject matter, symbols, and images are used in the students' works and in significant works by others
[9-12 Advanced] Students describe the origins of specific images and ideas and explain why they are of value in their artwork and in the work of others
Visual Arts Standard 4: Understanding the visual arts in relation to history and cultures
[9-12 Proficient] Students describe the function and explore the meaning of specific art objects within varied cultures, times, and places
[9-12 Advanced] Students analyze and interpret artworks for relationships among form, context, purposes, and critical models, showing understanding of the work of critics, historians, aestheticians, and artists
