Computers
Exemplar images
Access to Adobe suite
Printers
This lesson can be completed in 45 minutes to an hour, and only requires pre-downloaded images and Photoshop.

During this lesson, students will use the step-by-step instructions to adjust the colour, use the marquee tool, the move tool and the filter selection to produce a glitched portrait.

A great intro to Photoshop - students can learn basic quick commands like “ctrl&+ / -” to zoom in and out “ctrl&z” to go back a step, “ctrl&shift&z” to go forwards a step; plus basic tools such as move, marquee and filter gallery.

Students can make it personal to them by choosing their own image, adding a galaxy and as many horizontal glitches as they choose.
