A collection of paintings for students to use to help practice with digital painting. The paintings vary in complexity to allow students to practice at their comfort level (and for you to have wiggle room for accommodations and extensions). I sought to include a variety of paintings, including several well-known ones to activate students' prior knowledge, some highly complex ones to challenge students, and some more simplistic ones to prevent students from being intimidated.
Students can chose (or be assigned) a painting from this album. They download the image and open it in Photoshop (or any other digital painting software). In a new layer, they use the brush tools to recreate the painting, until the original image can be removed, leaving students with their own digital "copy" of the painting.
