About this project

Some of the best technology projects take you away from the computer. Take a photography field trip ... take some digital photos ... then use a photo editing program to apply "artistic effects" such as a watercolor or charcoal effect. Produce several versions of the same photo and then get out your sketchbook and draw the same scene using the photos as inspiration. These photos were created with Microsoft PhotoDraw, based on a photo taken at Belle Isle Marsh in East Boston.
