Photoshop Masks Assignment

I made this image using a space picture and putting another picture of a cat in front of it. I used Photoshop CS6 on the mac to create this image, the steps i used t make this are

1. First I opened the picture of the background then I opened the picture of the cat
2. I changed the size of the cat image to make it proportional to the background
3. Then I draged the cat image to the space bar and onto the image of space
4. I then unlocked the background to make it 2 layers
5. Then I used the quick selection tool to select the image of the cat
6. I used refine edge to the make the sides of it more smooth and make it look like the cat belongs there
7. Then I made a mask of the background so I could make the cat and background have the same lighting
8. Finally I saved it

Teamwork Stop Motion Video

We made a stop motion video about teamwork which was an easy topic because everyone helps each other. We showed the theme of teamwork by the way the clay figures helped each other out. We made the set by taking a piece of cardboard and painting it blue to look like the sky and then taking soil to make the garden, we also made our figures out of clay so it would be easier to move.

I found a lot of things interesting about this painting first off that its in black and white I liked that because it really makes the viewer wan tot look more closely at it. I also like all the details that the artists put into this art and all the freedom the viewer has to make it about how they feel and how they can see what thy want to see.
