Luis told me he wanted my beard on his face. So we did a little photo shoot and photoshop demo. I apologize to all my students who ever took a digital photo class with me, but my kid is better than you. #art #portraitphotography #facemerge #dadlife #adjunctlife #notbiased https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HLLyKFORc/?igshid=kvzi6d7fczh0

In this latest iteration of the Intermediate Digital Photography (Art 242) “face merging” project students were introduced to the work ”Humanae” by Angelica Dass. In it Dass explores the relationship we have to color and how we use it in such a limited way. Through the sampling of pixels on the subject’s nose she assigns them a Pantone color. Pantones are a standardization method for color in the graphics industry. They exist beyond limited language of black, white, and brown. Pantone’s use descriptive language such as Pantone 487c or Pantone 7567c. All kidding aside, it was important for students to see just how closely related the colors are. After organizing them in Pantone color order, they were asked to then merge their portrait with that of their neighbors. The end photograph was then merged with the first photograph, completing the circle. Artists: Maddie Vikse, Mackenzie Appling, Tammy Burdiak, Jake Thompson, Josh Katsimpalis, Ramsey Miller, Maggie Marshall, Claudia Martinez, Juan Fernandez (Instructor), JaJuan King, and Oscar Alexander #angelicadass #humanae #art #digitalphotography #waubonseecommunitycollege #adjunctlife (at Waubonsee Community College Sugar Grove Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqdBlTAVzh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7z40t7vsxa9q
