As you view the Mood PowerPoint pictures, tell your shoulder partner what "mood" the picture makes you feel. Don’t just look for the dark, sad photos. Moody photos can be happy as well. What exactly are you looking for? Photos that convey a mood often leave a lot to the imagination. The “missing” information in a shallow depth of field photograph is a good example. So are the soft streaks of color in a long exposure. An over-exposed photograph can convey a feeling that’s completely the opposite of a dark and gloomy one.
Mood is often intentional, a photographer uses camera settings and post processing (such as editing in Photoshop) to set the mood. Imagine the difference between a blurred or out of focus dark background and a bright high contrast sharp focus background can do to the mood. Mood can also be changed by lighting, filters, distance and backgrounds.
“Art is created by Intent." If I can preconceive an image in my mind, and then produce that image, or at least a very close resemblance of it, then I feel my work is just as much art as a painting or a sculpture or anything else that only identified as art.

Students will create self-portraits that reflect their personal identity, using photography techniques to capture their essence. In Photoshop, they will apply liquify techniques to manipulate and enhance their images, experimenting with distortion and transformation while preserving the authenticity of their self-expression.
I will explore the concept of identity in photography, reflecting on how personal experiences, emotions, and characteristics can be expressed through self-portraits.
I will experiment with different photography techniques to capture my self-portrait in a way that visually represents my identity, considering factors like lighting, composition, and background.
I will learn how to use the liquify tool in Photoshop, experimenting with features such as the forward warp, pucker, bloat, and other distortion tools to manipulate elements of the image.
I will apply liquify techniques to modify facial features, posture, or background, while ensuring the image remains cohesive and true to my intended self-representation.
I will consider the impact of manipulation in my image, reflecting on how the liquify process affects the overall message and emotional tone of the self-portrait.
I will reflect on the balance between realism and abstraction in my self-portrait, exploring how subtle or dramatic adjustments can influence the viewer’s perception of my identity.
I will evaluate my work to ensure that the final self-portrait feels authentic, expressive, and meaningful, while using Photoshop tools in creative ways to enhance the image.
