**Scenario #1 - Parham - Bon Lin MS** **Creating Digital Images - iPhoto** __**TN Standards**__ 1.1 Demonstrate the use of knowledge in select media, techniques and processes. 2.4 Apply problem-solving skills that lead to solutions to specific visual art tasks. 5.1 Compare multiple purposes for creating works of art.

Using **//iPhoto//**, my 8th grade Visual Art students prepared some of their artwork to be entered into the Scholastic Art Awards digitally. After taking digital images of the pieces of art they saw as their best, the students uploaded these images and edited them with iPhoto. Students learned how to use different functions in iPhoto to make their art look its best. Students would crop, resize, edit contrast, adjust saturation, and anything else necessary to present their art at its best. After editing their photos, student would copy their images from iPhoto into a word document that had all their information, and description of their artwork.

This scenario allowed students to: • Create a digital image of the art, to be published and seen by judges in a competition. • Apply existing knowledge of art concepts to the digital copies of the artwork. • Exhibit their art to others in the community.

**Scenario #2 - Parham - Bon Lin MS** **Creating Digital Images - iPhoto** __**TN Standards**__ 1.1 Demonstrate the use of knowledge in select media, techniques and processes. 2.4 Apply problem-solving skills that lead to solutions to specific visual art tasks. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">3.2 Use subjects, themes and symbols that demonstrate knowledge of contexts, values, and aesthetics that communicate intended meanings in artworks.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px;">Using **//iPhoto//**, my 8th grade Visual Art students took digital photos of each other that they used for a future art project. After taking digital images the students uploaded these images and edited them with iPhoto. I went through many of the different processes they could use to change, edit, enhance, and crop their photos to get the most interesting composition. Students learned how to use different functions in iPhoto to make their photos look unique and stand out. Students had a great time learning all the functions that had to alter their photos, and had the most fun just trying different things out. I guided them in some of the procedures so they had quality images they could work with in their art. After editing their photos, students printed these images, and used them in their next art project as a reference in drawing a self-portrait.
