For this assignment I used the same photo and modified it in several different ways using both Pixlr and Aviary.The first two image files included in this post are modifications I made to my photo using Pixlr. I created the first image using the Find Edges filter and the second image using the Hope filter.
The next two image files are modifications I made to my photo using Aviary. For the first I used the Brush Pen filter. For the second I accessed the Peacock tool and used the Kaleidoscope effect. I played with the Horizontal and Vertical Offset properties until I got the baseball caps to form a ring.
Like others, I found Pixlr much easier to use that Aviary.
I can see using Pixlr with a group of kids, either in school or at a library event. I bet they'd love it if you took a picture of them with a digital camera and then helped them upload it to Pixlr to mutate in all kinds of interesting ways!
