Final Photoshop assignment

Photo 1:
 Make a collage on photoshop using photos you have taken and photos from the internet. The collage needs to have at least 3 different images combined into one. If it is a landscape it needs to have a background, middle ground and foreground. Or you could do something like   http://thinkartmakeart.com/digitalskill1.htm  This with an animal.  Make sure the edges are nice and neat. The goal is to NOT be aware that it has been photoshopped. Taking the time to make sure it is neat and done well makes a big difference in the quality of the image.


Photo 2:
Find a famous work of art and try to recreate it with only photoshop brushes and colors.
