We took an idea from Darrell Wakelam to make some Day of the Dead skulls from paper plates.
We then took it a bit further taking photos of ourselves in front of the green screen. In Keynote we added backgrounds, our pictures and photos of our masks.
We used instant alpha to remove backgrounds to create interesting pictures.
A bit of fun but learning about layers and opacity. We also got the images from unsplash so they are copyright free. We also read about the the Day of the dead festival.
We told Darrell we had used his idea and this is what he said:
Brilliant John! Love the photo idea too, I bet the kids had a real laugh putting those together. 🤩

Really super artwork! The green screen is a fabulous tool to take everything into a new dimension, almost as though dreams can become a reality! Love the link with people out there in the world – it really exemplifies relevance. A great motivator for our pupils, too. I am in awe!
