"Unsheltered Creativity": Series of Sepia (plus Blue Filter) Photos "Creative Fruit": Student artwork painted using the mixer brush in Adobe Photoshop During our COVID-19 Quarantine, Professor Angela Gomez- Holbrook adjusted the assignments for the Coastline DGA 131/Art 212 Digital Photo course to allow for safe shelter-in-place and quarantine indoor photography solutions. The first assignment included interesting compositions of indoor house plants. With a weekly ConferZoom discussion plus study resources, students learned to crop with the "rule of thirds" and use Photoshop to emulate several traditional, color-toning effects—like Sepia tone—that photographers have previously achieved in the darkroom. These samples are from student work by Amy Severns, who wears multiple caps as our Coastline marketing department intern, as well as from My Uyen Truong and Katherine Vo.
