media type="custom" key="11121634" Your task will be to use the program Gimp to turn a regular photograph into a Pop Art picture in the style of [|R. Lichtenstein]. If you are not familiar with Gimp then I have provided some basic tutorials at the bottom of this page. If you are working from home then you will need to download Gimp on to your computer at home. Gimp is a free program. When choosing your photograph you can choose any picture that you like. Make it a family picture or a picture of you playing sports, the possibilities are endless. When you do chose your photograph you should make sure that there is something in the picture that you want to emphasis. So before going to the Gimp program you should analyze your photograph and decide what in the picture you want to emphasis and what colors you will chose to do that. You will be choosing one solid color for everything in the picture that you are not emphasizing and then you will choose three colors for the object that you are trying to emphasis. If you have an idea in mind before you ever import your picture into Gimp you will have a better start when you start your editing. Of course you can always change your mind as you get to editing but at least you will have somewhere to start.
