Old Timey Silhouettes

For one of the first projects we did for Visual Art and Technology (a high school class), students created "Old Timey Silhouettes" of themselves using Photoshop. This project is really simple and works to familiarize students with basic functions in the program.

Here are links to the two tutorials from my YouTube channel that provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete this project. (And even though it's very step-by-step, everyone created a very different work of art, which was really nice to see.)
