![]() So that’s my inspiration for the piece I’m going to create. The Native Americans had names for each of the full moons and the one for July is known as the “Thunder Moon,” because of all the summer storms that occur this month. I’m going to create a piece of art based on the recent full moon for July. I like to use my own images, but you can also use stock digital images or scanned photos. Or you can even use Pixlr to take your own photos by using the built-in camera! I usually keep a variety of nature images in my “favorites” album so that I can easily choose the photos I want for each collage. ![]() There is a free version and a more advanced version for a slight fee. However, you can use all the tools and features shown in this demonstration with the free version of Pixlr. Once the app is installed, you just sign in and agree to let the app access the photos on your device. You can find the app on your smartphone or tablet app store. There are several kinds of collages you can make. One collage is a series of images arranged in a grid style, another is a scrapbooking style of layering and overlapping images, and the third is the one I like the best and is the one we will be working with today. This collage technique involves creating art by layering a series of images using the double exposure tool, then using filters and adjusting the colors and opacity on each layer to achieve the look you want. As a creative person, I’ve been enjoying using the Pixlr app for a few years now. I use it for editing and customizing my images, but my favorite thing to do with this app is to get creative with making a collage.
