Computers 8 - Faith, Peace, Joy (Monday, April 24th)

Hi Computers 8!  I hope you all had a great Easter break.  I will be back tomorrow, and I maaaaaay have just bought you all a tiny present from Mexico. :)

Today I'd like to you to work on 3 different photo edits - you will have next class to finish these if required.


1. Faith

2. Peace
3. Joy


You can edit photos of your own choice that evoke feelings of FAITH (can be religious faith, spiritual faith, courage faith, or any other kind of faith you decide to focus on), PEACE, and JOY.  The key to success initially is taking time to choose just the right photo.  Take your time and pick a professional-looking, high quality, high resolution photo that evokes emotion in the viewer.


You may choose to add text to your photo, but it is NOT required.  If you do choose to add text, make sure you are thoughtful and artistic in your choices of fonts, sizes, placements, etc.


Below are a few text ideas to get you started on your photo editing.  You may include one of these quotes, or you may just read through them for inspiration and to set the tone before searching for your photo that you will edit without text.


Save your photos with your last name, first initial, and the name of the assignment (Faith, Peace, or Joy - 1 of each).


********************
FAITH:

“When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly” - Patrick Overton


“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” - Reinhold Niebuhr


“You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.” - Mary Manin Morrissey


“Fear can keep us up all night long, but faith makes one fine pillow.” - Unknown


“Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.” - George Seaton


“Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.” - Kahlil Gibran


“Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.” - Oswald Chambers


“Faith is like electricity. You can't see it, but you can see the light.” - Unknown


To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” - St. Thomas Aquinas


“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” - Mother Teresa


********************
PEACE:


“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.” - A.H. Muste


“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” - Peace Pilgrim


“Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.” - Robert Fulghum


“If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.” - Tenzin Gyatso


“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it" - Unknown


“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix


“To be at one with God is to be at peace ... peace is to be found only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul.” - Ralph Waldo Trine


“If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.” - Mahatma Ghandi


********************
JOY:

“Enjoy life.  This is not a dress rehearsal. - Unknown

Joy is the feeling of grinning inside. - Melba Colgrove

Joy is not in things; it is in us. - Richard Wagner

Joy is increased by spreading it to others.” - Robert Murray McCheyne

One joy shatters a hundred griefs. - Chinese Proverb

Carpe diem!  Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have.” - Horace
