Nixie poses for a photo at the beach. This photo has been edited using the filter tool sharpen and colour balance to make small increases of the red and yellow in the photo.

Fall Reflection

This carrot caught my eye gardening this fall. It is a photo of two carrots that grew around each other. I added a coloured text layer to the photo to have a little fun with the image.

This image reminds me of a punk rock poster. I used the threshold levels to adjust to a dynamic black and white image.

This photo is of farm implements from years gone by. The image has been colour edited with the curve tool. I used a "S" curve modify from the diagonal line.

Farm Steel

 Original

This log building has interesting texture and context of a pioneer construction. I wanted to keep the context of the photo but enhance the image and bring out some colour in the material. The image has been slightly cropped, enhanced by the filter sharpen and adjusted in colour balance.

Textured Timber

The steel wagon wheel rested against a barn wood and leaves. The image has been cropped to the center spoke. I used the clone tool to place leaves over barn wood and uncover steel spokes beneath the fallen leaves.

This photo was taken during a recent home project. I edited the photo by adding lines with the pencil tool and text layers. The photo now gives detail and direction for wiring a light switch in.

This past Thanksgiving we hosted my family to celebrate together. Our living room turned into a dance party. This photo was edited through a filter supernova. Star like rays where added to the image to give an even more radiant vibe.

    Great pictures! I also thought the carrot one was funny. The picture of the wiring with tips on it would be helpful for the classroom.

Blog 12 Shot Cut training was more difficult to follow then the Lynda made courses. I found a huge difference in the scaffolding. The Shot Cut tutorials didn't cover some essential parts for me, one being how to save a project. I found the tutorials jumped around from one area to another. It did give me enough of a start that I could navigate the software a bit. I found that needed to go to additional forums to find specific needed information. I am looking forward to the video creation but am less excited to use a different software.

Week 10 I found this project to be challenging. The software was user friendly but did take a while to become accurate with the building process. The tutorial was needed and I often reviewed chapters while working on my tiny house project. I did find that the version I used had some differences as what was presented in the videos. I needed to research in some forums to solve a few issues. One of which was the triple click short cut to select all was not compatible with PC sketchup 2017 version. Overall I was happy with my project, and enjoyed adding finishing touches. The best features of sketchup is that 3D objects are simple to make using the push/pull tool. Comparable to AutoCad this tool allows a new learner to make objects and structure right away. Another excellent feature that I enjoyed was the warehouse of items. This allowed detail to be added easily gave the space a realistic feel. I could see sketch being used in a drafting program to prompt interest in design or as a ...

Design Thinking The Design Thinking model provides an opportunity for students to think and make decisions through the entire project process. This model includes the following steps: Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. The big take away that I have from this design model is the first two steps, empathy and define. Starting a project with the a focus on empathy is challenging and motivating. It provides a personal connection and goal for the project. Empathy or creating for the betterment of others is what I want my students to understand ten years from now. Creating questions and understanding the audience provides insight and details for the project. If we know our target audience then we can look to create with confidence. The Define step uses the information collected to refine the project goals. The details and criteria is formalized taking a general concept to a focused goal. The remaining steps ideate, prototype and test provide a structure for students to work thro...
