Learning Reflection 3/31

I am pretty excited about our mural projects!  I will be working with Adele's, and learned quite a few things about illustrator that we will be utilizing to make this mural happen.  We decided to stage each separate window of the mural and photograph them, and then work with the images in illustrator to create a stencil out of cardboard.  I know more about Illustrator than I do about photoshop, but I did learn a few new tricks, such as the different style effects, to apply to these pictures.  We were thinking of using four colors per image, totaling in 16 different stencils; however, using my printmaking background, I think there are some images that we can treat as a reduction print to save cardboard. 

I also learned more about photoshop while attempting to help Adele in her tessellation. It was much more difficult to work with than mine was, so it ended up being a better learning experience for me. Teaching something to someone else always helps enforce things in my mind much better than trying to figure it out by myself.
