Student Photomanipulation in the Neo Dada Style



Given the task to create works of art in the expressive, pop art, deconstructive & simplistic Dada-esque style of Jasper Johns, students tried some photomanipulative attributes of PhotoshopTM for the first time. 


Here are their well-crafted tutorials that document some of their techniques.  Enjoy them!
