Feelings Portrait
In Google Classroom, describe a struggle you have, how it makes you feel, and what you do to deal with those feelings. Then, think of a pose to express those feelings through a portrait (photo of yourself).
Use dafont.com to download 3 fonts that express the mood and feeling of your topic. Open the downloaded zip file and click the .otf or .ttf file to install the fonts.
Using Photoshop, create a new 17 x 11 canvas. Use the paint bucket tool (click G and hold down to find paint bucket) to fill the background with a color that expresses the feeling of your topic. Then click T for Text and type your description. Use the text toolbar to change the size, color, and direction of your words. Save to your desktop. Take a screenshot and post to your blog with the title Portrait Day 1.
