Option 1: Using the computer program GIMP, turn a photograph into a Pop Art picture in the style of R. Lichtenstein. Instructions for Option 1: The Program you will be Using: GIMP If you are not familiar with Gimp then I have provided some basic tutorials at the bottom of this page. You should be able to follow along with the tutorial even if you are not familiar with GIMP.GIMP is downloaded on all of your computers at school.

Choose an Onomatopoeia What will you use for your word bubble for your picture. If you choose this first then it should help you to take a picture that will match your word. For example if you chose the word SMOOCH then you could take a picture of yourself blowing a kiss, if you chose the word SMACK then maybe you want someone to pose slapping you, if you chose the word SHHH, then maybe you want to take a picture of yourself sleeping. The possibilities are endless but picking the word first will help with your picture.
Take Your Picture Take a photo of yourself that fits with the onomatopoeia word that you chose. It is a good idea to do a close-up. The further away you are the harder it will be to create the effect that you want. Once you have taken your picture you should save it somewhere on your computer that will be easy to find.
