Today for starters campers finished designing and printing their houses in the style of Patti Parsons.

In our lesson this morning, Digital Detectives, campers used image processing techniques to decipher a crumpled ATM receipt, reveal a suspect's identity, and decode a mystery message.

Campers also worked as archaelogists putting together digital pieces of ancient Greek pottery and a New Mexican basket.

Some of the image processing skills we learned were:

  • making selections
  • manipulating the LUT (Look Up Table)
  • editing images
  • adjusting the density slice
  • cutting and pasting and using the Paste Control Window

Campers designed houses and buildings imitating the syle of Patti Parsons. Patti uses the computer as a sketchbook to try out different color combinations before putting her works on canvas.

 

Graphic artists rely heavily on digital imagery to create print and electronic art.

Campers explored other ways of making houses and buildings. Here is a Night Club designed by making a surface plot!

Campers visited the Mars Pathfinder site on the Internet. Using one of the images of Rover from the Internet, campers were able to use their image processing skills to put themselves on Mars!
