-I learned how to make a perfect circle using the elliptical marquee tool.
-I know I learned it because I know how to do it now without any sort of instructions.
-What got in my way of my learning were annoying kids who never came to class.
-What helped my learning was my computer buddies, who gave me their opinions as we each did our individual projects.
-I thought it was really fun to do, and I felt really proud of my work after I completed it.
-To make it more creative, I could've possibly added a space shuttle flying off in the distant sky, by using my magic wand tool.
-I found nothing difficult.

I really enjoyed the space project. The way we are able to enter the 3-dimensional universe and create somehow a piece of the solar system that was unique to each of us. I learned how to change the background of a picture and even adding aditional features to the picture that wasnt found there in the first place. It helped the way the teacher did demo's in class before we actually started, that way we were able to understand what to do and how to come about it. I didn't find it that ifficult, if a person has a good understanding of the tools then that person has all the knowledge one needs to do whatever that person wants. It was difficult at first when the tools were new to me, i had to get used to them and remember what they were for. I had a lot of fun doing the space project.

I learned how to use photoshop for the first time. It was fun learning how to create a colorful solar system. I learned to use the gradient tool to creat a contrast for the background and planets. I learned how to use these tools because Ms. O'Rourke showed us step by step and even gave us the instructions in a word document. People who were unmotivated,being rude,and disrespectful to the teacher got in the way of my learning. What helped my learning was my teachers interaction with me. She helped me by actually showing me what to do to help my project. I liked the Space Project alot. It makes me think of how the solar system is made up of all these creamy colors and contrasts. I could have used less stars. To make the planets pop out more. I could have put a rainbow going across the sky. I didnt find anything difficult. It was a fair project.

The space project was very fun to do. At first i thought this project was going to be very hard since i never used photo-shop. Ms. O'Rourke gave us instructions and showed everyone what to do and how to do it. I payed attention and learned what to do, When i didn't know how to do something i had looked at the space document which gave a basic step by step instructions with images so the chances of messing up was very less. I wanted to make this project good so i had to think how i wanted to make the project and didn't want it to look empty.
The most difficult part for me was the Milky Way. There were some people that didn't know how to do the work so i had helped them and thus i learned more about the project. The most creative part of the project was definitely to me was the Milky Way and the shooting star. The planets was the most appealing especially because of the reflection of the sun. Also due to the beautiful colors on the planets, they looked real.
I put images from Google on/near each of my planets to make it look for sufficient. I did have finished the project last but thanks to Ms. O'Rourke i had finished and i didn't feel that i did bad on this project. I hope we do more project using photo-shop.

- i learned how to make a planet.
- i know that i learned it because i dont need to ask the teacher for help and i can do it by myself
- the thing that got in the way of my learning was talking and sitting with my friends
- what helped my learning..i believe listening to the teacher for what she had to say
- at first i felt like the space project was retarted and i disliked it..after awhile i started to like the project and how everything came together
- you can add stars..bring anything from google and placing it in the project..putting lines on the planets
- i didnt really find anything difficult

From this project alone, I learned to use many tools. I also learned about the versatility of Photoshop, how the program works, and how I can use it in the future. This project taught me many things. The most difficult part of the project was the galaxy. In order to replicate a realistic galaxy I had to search for pictures, and then, using the brush tool, work with just my creativity. The only thing I would say got in the way of my learning would be the repetitive demos. I enjoyed this project because it helped me understand the basics of Photoshop; it also required me to utilize my own preferences (i.e. colors). I now know how to use this program on my own, without any assistance. The most influential teaching device was the demo. I also found the written instructions useful because I’d rather not ask questions that have already been explained. If I ever had to do this project again, I'd try to make it more fun. Perhaps I'd add satellites and other space items.

•I Leaned Photoshop for the first time and the Space project was really fun. I had a great time learning how to make planets, stars, aliens, moon, Milky Way & shooting star. I learned few important and useful tools like Eclipse Marquee tool, Brushes and gradients. I learned lots of important features of Photoshop and how helpful it is.
•I know that I learned things that Ms O Rourke taught us because all my assignments were on time and every time I tried to create different from others and I did all my by following the instructions.
•The students who were disrespectful and rude got in my way as they took every one’s time and wasted it by talking.
•The demo that Ms O Rourke did before we started our project was helpful yet at certain point, I was stuck because one can’t memorize all the things right away. So I found the word document instruction really helpful.
•I felt that the Space project was really a good exercise to start of with Photoshop features.
•I could have make it more creative by adding shooting star, use textures on planet and make my milky way a more realistic.
•The thing that I found difficult was to make the Milky Way because every time I tried, it didn’t look nice for some reason.

I learned how to use photoshop and make my own scene of our solar system for the first time. I know that I learned how to use photoshop because I can use the program with any directions that are given to me. I also know that I learned it because of the step by step instructions that you gave us before we started working on it. The only thing that got in the way of my learning was fooling around with Joanna. What had helped my learning was my neighbors who had helped me with some questions I needed help with. I thought it was really fun to do and I liked how my project came out too look. I could've made it more creative by adding an alien on a planet. I really didnt find anything difficult.

During this space project, I basically learned the basics of Photoshop. I learned the locations of some the tools and what some of the tools did. Such as the elliptical marquee tool, move tool, gradation tool, zoom tool, erase tool, brush tool, and lastly the liquefy tool. I know I learned these things because I know each of their purposes and I can use each of these tools almost to perfection. One thing that got in the way of my learning was how we only have a 45 minute time period to work each day so it kind of messes with the flow of my work. However, the teacher’s demos really helped and showed me the things I needed to do. The Space Project step by step instructions were actually very handy and helped me a lot with the things I may have missed or forgotten in the demo. I actually enjoyed the space project and how I was able to create my own version of the solar system. To make it more creative I think we could have put different backgrounds of our choice instead of the plain dark color or we could have put different random characters floating around our solar system using the move tool. I found using the liquefy tool a little difficult, actually finding it and getting to it was a little difficult. Everything thing else was pretty simple and easy if you just listened and followed instructions.

I learned what photoshop is and how to use it. It was fun creating things i would never do on my own time. But it will help me in the future incase i ever need to photoshop a picture or something. I also learned how to use these tools i've never used before. Ms Orourke gave us good demonstrations when she took over the computers and she helped us by giving us more directions if we were lost and then gave us some good ideas. The only thing i found difficult was rememebering where to find some of the effects and designs for my project. Other then that it was not difficult. Honestly i like the solar system so i enjoyed this project alot.

I agree with Ourania, the tools being learned were easy when there wasn't annoying people disrupting the class. Learning how to use the eliptical marquee tools was easy. After a while I learned how to use it by myself after personal practice making the space project.

I agree with Tenzin. Ms. O' Rourke helped me use the features of photoshop for the first time. I never knew that photoshop was this easy. I usually mess with different tools until I know which one is which. I also I found the word Document instructions on the space project to be easier.

In this space project i learned how to used photoshop ,adding aditional features to the picture specially used some tools. Now i can create a wonderful picture by myself. Since i doing this project my teacher and my classmate help me and gives me opinions. I felt very excited after i done my project. i also felt enjoy of doing the space project. To make more creative make background light with dark and add shooting start. The difficult it's some word in the photoshop i couldn't really understood. Hope next time do better.

I learned the basics of phtotshop you need to create pictures on the computer.I learned the locations of tools,palletes,swatches, etc. I know i learned all of these thing becasue i can go to these thing without thinking about where its location is. There was really nothing getting in the way of me learning . I felt the space project was a good way to test what we have learned so far . It also test our creativity and attentiveness in class. i could have added more dimension and maybe some aliens to make my project more interesting but other than that it is fine. I didnt find anything difficult about this project, it was farily simple.

-i learned that by using different layers for your work, it makes the whole project much simple and its easy to make changes to certain area instead of erasing and starting all over.
-i know that i learned it because i incorporated it into the space project, and after doing it many times..i memorized it.
-what got in the way of learning was noisy people.
-the step by step guide helped my learning experience, and also other students and the teacher as well.
-i thought the space project was actually pretty fun, and easy going once you get the hang of things. i definately would enojy doing it again.
-to make it more creative i could have added an alien or space shuttle.
-i found using some of the tools difficult at first.. afterwards it was quite easy

I learned that there are many thingsyou could do in photoshop.I know I learned it because I never knew how to do it before.I was interested & I listened and learned.I learned by listening & observing. The space project was fun & interesting. I think mine is creative enough. It was difficult to get yourself to making the stars because I never knew howto get to the stars

1. In Computer Graphics I learned how to use photoshop. this program was interesting because you can do all kinds of things. From drawing pictures to rearranging figures into other pictures.
2. I know learned how to use photoshop because i know most of the basic commands that there are. From feathering an object to using the gradient tool.
3. What got in my way in the space project was my last planet, which i was supposed to make. So I needed to be creative with that planet.
4.What helped during the space project was the intructions on how to make each planet as well as some help by Ms. Orourke.
5. This project i thought was interesting because of realistic you could make your planets. This was due to the various tools used in phtoshop

-I learned a lot threw out this project because what I learned I didn't know it actually existed just because I don't have Adobe Photoshop.
-The way I know that I earned this was because I always asked for help and explanation to do a specific thing on my project.
-There was many things that got in my way because many things we were taught i didn't know where to go it was to many.
-What helped me was the next time or whenever I get to download Adone Photoshop I know for next time where to go and what to use.
-I felt that at times I was having difficulties on my project because I didn't where to go to do a specific thing I wanted to do on my project.
-I wish I would have made more planets, more Cool and creative things to it.
-There were many things I found difficult but I got threw them. It's like I knew what I wanted to do but didn't know where to go to do them.

i learned how to use adobe photoshop, becuase before this i didnt even know a thing about it. I know i learned because i did a pretty good job in my space project. i followed instructions. i could say that nothing got in the way of my learning. the fact that the instructions were properly written i followed everything. i feel that the space project was an interesting project making up your own plantes and all. i would add shooting stars and planets more creative with a lot of colors and spirals. in the beginning i think it was hard because it was my first time using the program.

In the space project i learned how to use the tool bar. I know i learned it because you showed us step by step. When I got lost doing layers. What helped a lot was the paper which told us step by step how to do the space project. I think the space project its a little to hard for the first few projects that we had to do. Use pictures from the internet to make it look more like space. i found the layers very hard because everything had to have its own layer.

The space project was fun.I learn to use the tools of Photoshop and why are they important to use.I know that I learn because I paid attention when the teacher was given
The instructions and when I was doing my works.the things that get in my way when I was learning is when the computer was not function very well.I think the things that help on this project is that I try to do it the things by myself and not ask anyone but when I was really confuse I ask to the teacher or the students.First I thought that it was going to be very hard to do it but when I was working it was very easy and fun to do it.To make the space project more creative I could put more starts ,different colors, put a rainbow going across the sky and try to put funny things for example the aliens.When I forget what I have to do .It was difficult to me because I didn’t what to do and when I was doing the planets I get confuse but at the end I learn.the space project was really goog and fun.

the space project was absoulty horrible the project itself was really boring and hasnt taught me anything at all. I dont want to ever see or do another space project in my life if it comes back to doing another one i will trash the computer. You have to do extra annoying things for the project like feathering and etc which makes the project way harder and the computer dosent wanna give enough help to me.
Thank you for your coopertion dignity and pride!

I learned about photoshop for the first time and how to use it. I learned about the interesting effects to do with pictures when you use it. I also learned the basics about where everything was, what they were for, and how to use them in a picture. I know i learned it because with the instructions that were first given i was able to remember what i had to do after without looking back. The only thing getting in the way of my learning would be not having as much time as i would have liked. What helped my learning was having people around me and being able to ask them from time to time about something i didn't get. I felt the space project was a very interesting project where you could just be creative in your own way and have many ways of doing it. I could have made it more creative with adding different effects to my planets and maybe a shooting star. I didn't really find anything difficult.

-i learned how to use photoshop to make planets and a mini solar system.
-i knoe i learned it becuz i can do the project by myself without extra help,and i can do a really good job.
-what got in my way was the number of distraction's in the classroom whether it be talking,or not being able to hear the teacher speak.
-the fact that ms orourke is really good at what she does,she made the project simple,sweet,and to the point.
-at first i was like this is going to take a longgg time to finish,and it was going to be difficult.
-i can add pictures and objects from websites on the internet to put into the project that i created.
-i found remembering all the directions difficult becuz there was alot of tools and directions to remember.

1. I learned many new things doing this space project some of those things would be that almost every piece of work that you do in photoshop requires it's own layer another thing i learned how to do in photoshop would be making a perfect circle and than making a planet out of that circle.
2. I know i learned it because doing this space project was hard and i had to keep re-doing the steps untill i memorized it.
3. Making the stars kinda got in my way of learning because i had to concentrate on that so much that i got distracted from finishing my last step which was making my last planet.
4. What really helped my learning were the steps and
Ms. Orourke.
5. The space project was hard to complete because i didn't really know where most of the options i needed were so i wasted little of my time trying to find those options.
6. I could probably make it look more realistic.
7. I found the whole project difficult. why? because im new to this and it probably takes some time getting use to, and learning more about using photoshop.
