__Activity 1__
For your first activity on the wiki, I would like you to post one image you have shot previously before this class. Click on your name to reach your page and add the image and text to this page. Choose one that you like or are proud of.

__**Part 1**__ - Write a brief statement of why you chose it, what you like about it, and what was going on at the time that you took the image (the back story that we could only know from you the photographer). Add your image and comments to your page.

====**__Part 2__** - After posting your image, go to one other person's page and respond to their image by posting to the discussion page (from the tab on that persons page). Write the critique by answering the following questions: **What is the difference between making a picture and taking a picture? Do you believe this image is an example of taking a picture or making a picture? How or Why, explain your answer?**====

(Hint-Only post to another person's discussion page who has not received a post yet. That way every one gets some feedback. The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste these words to the location where I am asking for you to respond, then respond to it.)

__Activity 2__
Post your picture and create a profile to your wiki identity. Do this by clicking on the "My Account" button to the upper right of your page. Upload a picture of yourself from home, a flash drive, or photo booth (may need to be dropped and dragged to the desk top from photo booth). Go to the profile tab and fill in data about yourself. Create an identity that will be shared with your classmates.

Read the article about social networking. It is on the flash drive, printed out, or on the desk top.

What are your opinions on the matter? Does it matter what you represent in cyberspace? Why? Add your comments to the discussion tab from the Home Page.

__**Activity 4**__
For your next activity on the wiki, post **one** image you have shot **for each of the five assignments** for this class. Label each of them for the assignment name. Click on your name to reach your page and add the image and text to this page. Choose ones that you like or are proud of.

__**Part 1**__ - Write a brief statement of why you chose it, what you like about it, and what assignment it was for. Add your image and comments to your page.


 * __Part 2__** - After posting your images, go to one other person's page and respond to one of their images by posting to the discussion page tab on their page. Title the discussion - Activity 4. Identify the image and elaborate on your response to their work by writing a critique following the P.Q.P. format.

P.= Praise, Write a statement of praise for the image. Q.= Question, Ask a question of the artist about the artwork or the production of it. P. = Polish, What is one constructive criticism or improvement that could be made to improve the image. If they were to reshoot the image or touch it up on the computer, what could be done to improve it?

(The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste these words to the location where I am asking for you to respond, then respond to it.)

__**Activity 5**__
Save your favorite straight digital image that you shot to the "print this" folder. The folder is on your class flash drive.

__**Activity 6**__
1. Use the worksheet provided to identify the tools in PhotoShop Elements. 2. **Enhance one digital image utilizing Photo Shop Elements 4.** 3. Map the four-five different changes that you made to your image on the back of the sheet in the spaces provided. 4. Post your manipulated print as your last digital image on your wiki page.

Directions: Watch tutorials from the link below, first, to understand the tools you will use. Log in with the username and password ehss. Look at videos on: layers, text, filters, etc. anything that you would like to know to alter one image in Photo Shop Elements 4. After manipulating the image save the finished product to the flash drive in the "Digitally Enhanced" folder. Explain, on the Tools worksheet, how you used the tools and enhanced the final product. Place a check beside the tool you utilized, in the margins of the "Tool" worksheet on the side with the functions. Be sure to identify all the changes you make to the original image. Bare minimum you should utilize at least 4 tools and make 5 changes to the original image. One of your changes could be to apply a filter or change something with the layers.

Film Variables that Effect Quality

==You really didn't think that was all did you? Read the page from the hot link below and further note anything missing from these notes. Also click on the link at the bottom of that page and read about film processing,continue notes from there too.==

[]
==Now complete a negative critique sheet by analyzing the quality of your negatives. Look at the negative to describe density and the contact sheet to describe contrast. Compare your contact sheet and your negatives.==

__Trouble Shooting__
Having problems with your negatives or prints? Check this site to find why something went wrong? Ms. Fox also has trouble shooting sections in a few text books with images. []

__Film Loading and Processing Demonstrations__
Miss the class film processing demonstration? Watch the videos on the site to catch up. Don't worry, there is a check sheet for development and a packet with instruction for film loading, also everyone here will help. []

__Activity 8__
Go to [|http://redstudio.moma.org/interctives/fauxtogram/] and make a fauxtogram or digital photogram. Hit the launch button and begin. Once you have made one you like, hit the following keys together: shift, command, and the number 4. A cross hare will pop up and it can be clicked down from one corner of the image to the other. This will save a copy of the image on the computer desk top. Go to your page and post the image. Give it an interesting and poetic title.
