LIGHTHOUSE CHALLENGE





 This challenge is about altering the pixel-data from an existing photograph to create a completely new and different artistic image.  

The image you will use as your source material is an image of a lighthouse--the 1st image above.

Directly below that, is a much larger version of the image--this is the one you will download to your computer to alter.

Crop, duplicate, use filters, mirror images, curves, levels, layer effects, slice, dice, etc...anything at your disposal to create an engaging re-interpretation of the original image. 

Experiment and get creative--there are no rules or limits for what you produce.

 Below are some student examples...

Flip phones), and some become obsolete due to built-in or "planned" failure (Ex. *Light bulbs) Prior to starting the project, you are to research the topic of "planned obsolescence" and answer the following (You should post your answers to
