Snow People

I recently had my 5th grade students create a modified version of a 3D snowman tutorial from kromefx.com. They had a blast with the 3D Transform filter and using their prior knowledge of the paintbrush tool to enhance their creations. Check out their work.

Penguins

I have recently done several penguin activities with my 2nd grade students. They loved visiting The March of the Penguins web site. They especially enjoyed the game Save the Egg which is actually on the National Geographic site.

We drew penguin pictures in Kid Pix using the circle, filled shape, and pencil tools. They also researched and wrote about penguins.

Photoshop Lesson

I found another fun, easy lesson for Photoshop Elements. Once students learn about filters, layer styles, and text they can easily create this lesson in Elements. Make sure to scroll down on the page to see examples.
