Like Léger or Other Artist

I'm hoping to find at least three (hopefully four) works of "digital art" in Edmodo before Thanksgiving. I know the computers are giving you problems, but you can come to the Mac Lab during your Studies - or any other time - to complete your work. My main goal for you is that you learn to be creative, appreciate art and digital art, use your imagination and learn Photoshop.

Another easy exercise that will help you review some of the techniques you already learned is imitating Léger's work in Photoshop. You can check some of his paintings in Google and try to imitate them, using different shapes, downloading images from the internet, etc. To do this exercise I suggest that you create different transparent layers, to put your images and shapes in these layers. Remember: you can change the order of layers (you can also name them, to make it easier to find your images. Change the color of some of these shapes, enlarge them or shrink them, etc. You can also check the Adobe Photoshop book for help. Get creative!

This is my digital art creation that I came up with after checking Léger's work - "Joseph Fernand Henri Léger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. In his early works he created a personal form of cubism which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style." They are exhibiting some of his work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (click link).
I'm hoping to be back in school next week. Thanks for your understanding!
