I used Picnik to enhance the pink around Thor's eyes and nose (as if he needs more pink, the little piggy). I used Dumpr to put a picture of me visiting the Detroit Thanksgiving Parade Open House as a museum picture. I became a celebrity over night! This was alot of fun to play with the pictures. I thought it was very user friendly and it connected to flickr in a matter of seconds!
I could see the students making a self-portrait with Andy Warhol's influence to create a masterpiece. I could see the students using a picture of themselves in dumpr to make an Art Mystery story. Another student favorite project is the Artist Trading Card (these have become very popular with students and adults) there are many websites that feature ATC's and using altered pictures would be alot of fun to experiment with.
I use pictures alot in my classroom for documenting art projects and showing students examples from other students (not just the examples I make). I have created a slideshow and displayed them at the music concerts for parents to view while waiting for the music concerts to start. Pictures are alot of fun!

Your pics look great. I think you cropped someone out of the Thanksgiving Parade Pic as I think I have seen that one before. The pic looks great with the added touches. I hope I can do 1/2 as well, much be the creativity of the Art Teacher.
