My project for course: Experimental Illustration Techniques: From Digital to Artisanal

Thank you for a wonderful class and for your inspiration. I used what I learned in this course to complete the final project for my college Photoshop class. The series is called "Untold Dangers Posed to Swimmers and Divers".

I prepared black and white digital collages, then printed them on cardstock at my local photocopy store. I used colored pencil to color the images by hand. The 1st image I worked on was the one with the frog. The coating created by the photocopy resisted the colored pencil, so the quality of this image is very poor. I returned the other two images to Ps and reduced the opacity to 50%, then printed them again. This made the images easy to color.

Because of this class, I have become interested in collagraph and have made several small matrices, but did not use them in this project.

I loved this class!
