Class 13 make Photoshop Collages

Over the past couple of weeks the Year 6’s have been making digital collages using scanned in artwork and Photoshop.  By creating these works of art the children have been learning about the lasso selection tool, the move tool, layer styles, blending modes, hue+saturation adjustments, the filter gallery and the liquify tool.  We’re incredibly pleased with how their artworks have come out, below are just a few examples to give you a flavour of their excellent work.
