POP Art to learn selection tools

Akshith Kachakayala

Photoshop is a difficult program to learn.  The program is very robust and I tell my students they could use it for the rest of their lives and still not learn everything it does.  One of the most common tools you really need to learn how to use if you want to be successful at all is the selection tools.  You can only be proficient with these tools if you practice using them.  

To do this, students created Pop Art images of themselves.  We took a brief look at the history of Pop art and practiced on a specific image and then students chose their own images and applied their skills to create their own work.  Most of the students were able to successfully create all their color layers on their own.  The projects all turned out great.  Make sure you check out the artwork in the student work page!
