Using Photoshop in Art

A few weeks ago in art we went to the media suite to recreate our photos that we recently took (using the 3 point lighting system), into a Francis Bacon style. We used various tools to blur our photos and to change the texture of them. Francis Bacon smudges his paintings so we used the duplicating tool to create the same effect. After we had experimented with a few different pictures, we created a final picture and printed it out. We also experimented with various types of Bacon paintings, such as triptychs, and used them to try and create our own. I found this particularly hard to do as it was difficult to create the smudged effect on a computerized programmed. I still feel that my photos came out quite well though, considering.

After we printed it out we had to stick them in our books and explain what effect we were going for.
