Monochromatic Triptychs

3/21/2014

I was looking through my archives of art projects on Artsonia and found on I hadn't tried again in almost a decade.
Monochromatic Triptychs (last attempted in 2005). The third graders made amazing monochromatic paintings this year so I thought it would be fun to use our iPads to turn them into triptychs where they could see their original image and two others with color filters in a different hue side by side.
I played with two free apps to make my examples happen:
Crazy Color Booth for the filters
Pict Collage for the triptych
I'm sure there are other apps to do this, but we have these installed and ready to go, so why not use them!

Alien Filter

Alien 2 filter

Original

Used Pic Collage (horizontally) and chose 3 pict layout

Update: See their finished work on Artsonia

New update: for iOS 11 update

I lost Crazy Photo Booth when my iPads were updated to iOS11 so I looked for another solution. I put the monochromatic portrait in Brushes Redux and shifted the hue. This is actually a better way to show students more dynamically what HUE is and how it can change the color scheme of your artwork.

The monochromatic images were created in Brushes Redux and put side by side in Pic Collage
