It’s time to catch up with some old posts. We start with a class project run amok. One of my Students (Meagan!) took my challenge to heart and turned her high contrast portrait assignment into a pumkin carving. I always try to point out real world applications for all of my assignments. The real world application for high contrast art is almost endless. I use it all the time in logo creation as well as masks in Photoshop. However, farther down on the list is pumkin carving. Most great pumkin designs start as a high contrast conversion from a picture that is a lot more complex. Being able to look at this picture, decide what to drop, what to simplify and what to keep while still maintianing a recognizable image is quite the trick. Putting it onto a pumkin is even trickeir! Thanks Meagan for a job well done!
