These week were intresting. We used a program i had never tried before called painter and i have to say i think its awesome. It allows you to create some really wild pieces of art without really doing much. It also allows you to create paintings useing brushes in the program. The brushes in this program work pretty much the same way they do in real life, you can change the thinkness depending on hom much presure you use, you can mix colours manually in a pallete as you would in real life and painting to different colours over one another on the picture creates a blending affect with i thought was real handy.
I spent so much time mucking around and just trying all the different settings on this thing that i didnt actually finish an pictures, i was more or less experimenting with all the tools and brushes and affects i had at my disposal.
We also tried tablets in class as well which i have to say did not work for me in the slightest. I know that its probably because im not used to useing them but i just find them really awkard. They tend to be overly sensitive to everywhere you move and touch, the click when you dont want to click or vice versa and they dont give the result the same way a pen and paper would. I gave it a shot and found that free hand drawing, as you would with a pen and paper, is a nightmare on the tablet and i even prefered using a mouse over it.
