Hi, I'm Trisha Fiedelstad and I want to show you how I did a project in the style of the
Downton Abbey logo design that has positive, negative space, black and white. So if you've
ever seen this image, then this will be more familiar to you. What we're doing is a play
on that image but also teaching positive and negative space. And so I think I would teach
this where I would have the kids hand draw a black and white cartoon or anything actually,
then make it digital and then take them through these steps on the iPad to turn it into this
Downton Abbey style piece of art. So here's a couple samples. And I tried this one that
was a lot trickier but that was my, before I had the easy stuff figured out. So actually
I played with this a lot until I figured out a nice easy simple way to do this. So I would
start by making a template. Now I don't think I would have my students make the template,
but when I do make the template, I would do it in Sketchbook Express. And let me just
show you really quickly how I did this. Sketchbook Express gives you options to make shapes.
So I chose that square. I chose black by going like this. And then I made a big square. So
I actually, I'm going to go ahead and try that for you. So I choose square. I am black.
Okay. Let's see how this looks. I'm going to zoom out so I can see the whole thing. Here's
my black. And now I'm going to use the fill bucket and pour that in there. So black is
the bottom half. I was just guessing on where the middle was, but I think I did okay if
I didn't do okay. I could always transform, use two fingers and scoot that back in the
middle. I hit cancel because I think I am pretty good. Next is a new layer where I would add
text. So I chose dried in art. Those same letters that it starts with, but I don't know
whatever you want to do to personalize it. You would add text, type it in, change the
color to black or white depending on where it goes and then transform it until you've
grabbed it and moved it to the location you want. You could also change your font. There's
a font choice. I just played and tried to compare to the font that I saw in the actual
piece and I don't know if I picked the right one. So I don't even remember what I chose.
Sorry. Unless it says it here, does it say what I chose? Yeah. Super cleared and light.
That's what I chose. Alright, so I'm going to just give you a glimpse of the finished
work again. It looked like this. So I had to change the location of the text and the color
of the text in black and white. Then when I was done, I would just save the whole thing
to the camera roll by putting it in the gallery, selecting it and then choosing the share button
at the bottom and put it in the photo library. Once it's in the photo library, then I'm
ready to share it with my students so they could download it and use it in their artwork.
So now let's think about what their end of the deal is. The first thing I had to do was
go to Crazy Photo booth. This is an app that you probably didn't spend a lot of time looking
at if you ever saw it because it's one of their earlier apps and it's not extremely fancy.
But it's free. So you choose a picture from the photo library and hopefully the kids are
already have their artwork sent out to them and it's available for them to pull in from
their camera roll. So I've got this little creature. Oh, which. Now what I want to do
in this app is simply create a negative of it so that it can go into the black and white
space below in my Dunn Abbey design. So I'm going to choose the negative button and now
I'm going to save it to my camera roll. We're saved to album. Okay, I'm done with that app.
Next, superimpose. Okay, superimpose only works with two layers and eventually we're going to need
three layers. So we'll do some merging. So we work from the back to the front. So I'm
going to start with the background image, which is my template and choose and enter that.
Okay, now my next step is to add the foreground. I'm going to add the normal witch drawing,
which is this one. Okay, now she needs her background masked out, which is not a problem
in this app. So at the bottom there's a tab for masking. I'm going to use the magic wand.
I'm just going to touch the white around her and now she has a transparent background.
So I'm going to choose the transform button. I'm going to resize her and set her up.
Now you know what? I don't know. Her broom goes low. So her feet aren't going to be at
the edge. It's going to be her broom at the edge. Not the best design actually, but I'm
just practicing with this image. So here's my next step. I need this to merge. So here's
the merge button. I say yes. So now I can bring in the negative image of the witch. So I'm
going to choose new foreground. Here's the negative image and it also needs to be masked
so that the background is transparent. So I'm going to choose mask and click on the black
in the background. Choose transform. Now in order to make her a mirror image, what I do
is I lay her right on top of the first one. So she's the right size. And then I use this
arrow up down. It's like a vertical flip button at the top. Flip vertically. Now I grab her
and I line her up. So I guess she's flying a little bit. It's not so bad. And I am ready
then to hit the home button and get the choice to save. So it's done. So I have a positive
negative version of a line drawing in the style of dot nabby. So three apps. Make your
template in sketchbook express. Make your negative in crazy photo booth. And then put it all
together in superimpose.
