The following works were created by students in Electronic Art and Photography classes. In these classes, students use ColorIt, Hyperstudio, and Adobe Photoshop to create paintings and electronic collages. Students usually paint directly on the screen using a mouse along with the tools in the software. When creating collages, students use a color scanner or the Quick Take digital camera to import images.
Electronic Painting by Jason Daley. Jason first studied the work of African-American artist Romare Bearden. He then scanned in all sorts of textures and combined them together to create this scene on the computer.

Electronic Painting by Marianne Bosch. Marianne started with a photograph image. She manipulated the image, painted on top of it, and added text and various textures to create this finished piece.

Electronic Collage by Julie Brocco. Julie created this piece as a demonstration for the lawmakers in Springfield. She used an electronic camera to take photos of the ceiling and balcony of the capital building. She then cut and manipulated pieces of each photo to create this image.

Electronic Painting by Kevin Watkins. Kevin used a still video camera to take a grayscale image in the music room. He imported this picture and painted over it to create this finished piece.

Image by Laura Sumowski. Laura first experimented with the photocopy machine to obtain an interesting profile of her face. She then used the photocopy image as a visual reference for this electronic painting.

3-D Painting by Chris Horvath. Chris first used a rendering program to create the image of an electrical cord and outlet. He then imported the rendered image into a paint program to add the lightening, bat shadows, and blood.

Electronic Collage by Jason Daley. Jason started with a photograph of a cat. He repeated the shadow nine times to create a visual parody of the concept of a cat with nine lives.

Image by Lynn Schwab. Lynn created this image as part of a surrealist exercise. She had to randomly pull out an adjective, a noun, a verb, and a prepositional phrase. She then had to visually illustrate the phrase. The phrase that Lynn illustrated is "A dripping hand raining in a graveyard."

Image by Elaine Rodey. Elaine used scanned photographs of her parents to create this image. She used Adobe Photoshop to manipulate the images by resizing, repositioning, solarizing, inverting colors, pasting transparently, etc.

Electronic Painting by Aaron Wojack. Aaron used a desert scene from a magazine photo as the subject of this painting. Colors are used at varying transparancies to create the foreground plants in this scene.
