DIRECTIONS:
*For this project, it is probably best to remain in ONE spot while turning your camera on it's horizontal and vertical axis points to record the subject you have chosen. It's that simple.
1. Make a minimum of TEN photos on one subject.
2. In Photoshop, create a NEW CANVAS with the following dimensions:
10 inches WIDTH
10 inches HEIGHT
300 RESOLUTION
Background color: WHITE -or- BLACK
(If you need extra canvas space later, you can "IMAGE+CANVAS SIZE" to adjust the dimensions)
3. Using the MOVE tool, and "EDIT+TRANSFORMING+SIZE," piece-together a mosaic of your subject matter.
NOTES:
A. You can have empty space on the outer edges of the mosaic.
B. When you take the photos, think about getting SLIGHTLY closer to/away from your subject so that the images play with perspective and size.
HOMEWORK: Choose THREE different subjects/places to photograph. Bring back TEN or more images with which to make a photographic mosaic for each.
