Silhouette Project
My students had much nicer looking outcomes than my rush job! This was the second project that we did this year. It was very successful and looked great on parent's night.
In this project students will learn how to do the following skills in Photoshop CS6:
Select a portion of a background
Paint the background
Select the inverse
Erase a picture
Place Pictures
Rename Pictures

Layer Pictures

Using the Magic Eraser Tool
In this project students use the magic eraser tool to add images with a solid colored background to Van Gogh's Starry Night. I had many students create different scenes with this picture. Some replicated the batman theme, other's added roses to the image that they perceived as a giant thorn, others had police cars racing through the night. It was a fun project that reinforced how to place images, erase backgrounds, and exposed Van Gogh to the students.

Experience

Teaching style
My class is self-paced. I do not give my students deadlines. The nature of the scheduling at my district means that I see some members of one class three times a week, while I see others one time per week. In order to accommodate a thousand different projects happening simultaneously I create help sheets for my kids to follow. Due to the nature of their disability I try to make the help sheets visual. Due to different skill levels I tend to lead the kids by the nose through the project.
