NOTE: Each of the first four lessons that follow is designed in a modular format that can be taught as a complete unit or as a single activity. If taught as a unit, students will create a portfolio with images and writing that shows the four steps they learned in manipulating digital images.

Photo Collage	The lesson is designed to teach students how to find URLs and navigate to relevant sites. This lesson will teach students how to create their own individual folders. Students will learn how to cut and paste images. Students will learn how to use the Printmaster Program. Images from both Printmaster as well as the web will be used in this lesson all images used must be copyright free. Students will create a photo collage at the end of this lesson.
Composite Image	This lesson is designed to teach students how to create a composite page of multiple images. Students will use related images to create an original composite page. Students will work in the Microsoft PhotoDraw program (or similar program). They will learn how to apply various features of this program to their work to increase its level of sophistication. Each student will gather images individually. Graphic image programs as well as web searching will be used as a source for images. Students will also learn how to scan photographs for inclusion in this lesson.
Same or Different?	This lesson is designed to teach students how to manipulate digital images. Students will work with pre-loaded images as well as images they take themselves with a digital camera. They will analyze and write about their work at the end of the lesson using complete sentences, correct grammar and spelling. They will create a descriptive page with four manipulated photos from the same original image.
Real or Symbolic?	This lesson is designed to teach students about different types of images, specifically the difference between realistic and symbolic images. Both realistic and symbolic images will be gathered using ten different objects to show an understanding of this concept. Each student will individually discuss his/her Worksheet #1 with the teacher to check for understanding. Students will support their image choices in writing, using correct punctuation and sentence structure. A final colored pencil drawing will be done using the final image created by the student on the computer.
Printing from a Block	This lesson is designed to take a high quality digital portrait; change that image into a high contrast image using Adobe Photo Deluxe; transfer that image onto a linoleum block; create a linoleum block self-portrait.
