This week I would like to start by thanking Angela from Tumbleweed Portraits and Photography for coming into our classroom to teach us about the "Rule of Thirds" in composing art as well as photography.
Angela is a very talented photographer. She takes all kinds of amazing photos. She specializes in weddings, newborns, and families. Angela also does amazing mini sessions for Valentine's Day as well as Easter. If you are interested in checking out her photos, check out both her Facebook page as well as her portfolio on her web page.
Now for a unique challenge in honour of our guest artist. There will be two assignments this week. In addition to our regular sketchbook assignment (to be revealed later) I have also asked you to take one simple photo that follows the "rule of thirds" that Angela taught you this week. You have two ways to submit this photo, you can bring it with you to class next week or you can email it to me at :
stonesinc@yahoo.com
Here is an example of Angela's work that shows you an example of the "Rule of thirds".
So let's talk about this week's winners of our "morphing" sketchbook assignment winners.
Gryffindor's Winner
Time for a Change
Ravenclaw's Winner
Pepsi the Dog
And here is my "morphing" sketchbook assignment
My Sundae Hat
There will be a change in groups for this upcoming week. I had separated the group into 2 houses but have since changed my mind. We will now have 3 houses that will have a chance to win the sketchbook assignments of the week. Please Welcome Hufflepuff this upcoming week. There will be bit of a change up from the original two houses in order to accommodate the third house. The new house teams will be announced during our next class.
Now on to our sketchbook assignment for this week. I have asked the students to divide their sketchbook page into four equal squares. In each square I would like you to draw a cropped in detail version of something that you consider to be "Easter" related. Now I caution that you try not to draw something like Instagram ( I know you will be on Instagram this 4 day weekend) but unless you only Instagram during Easter then it doesn't show an Easter theme. You can chose the basics and draw a bunny, chick, eggs, etc. or you can draw something a little more original that you did for this Easter weekend.
Here is an example that was my inspiration for this sketchbook assignment:
However your sketchbook should be Easter themed!
I will be posting pics of some of the finished Pop! cans next week. Check back to see them soon.
