I know Photoshop is fantastic, but I’ll bet the same effect can be done at about the same difficulty level with Gimp (free software).

As for “after effects”, I’m not sure if there are any free alternatives. Does anyone have suggestions?

have you seen this site? http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7

description from the site: “Running the Numbers [the exhibit] looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics.”

he takes really interesting pictures that tell the story of the way Americans consume different types of products, like gasoline, cell phones, cigarettes, etc.

i’m not sure what you could with it in a classroom b/c a lot of the analysis is already done, but i wanted to share it with you and your readers in case it could be useful :)

Here’s a hypothesis: Maybe your 3rd period are more into drawing than photography? I wonder if they would be interested in drawing their own pictures of basketball?
