April Homework Theme - Fantasy or Exaggeration
Photo homework - Must be exaggerated perspective - ie foreshortening.
--Get close, change your angles, get high or super low!
--make sure you have good VARIETY!
Sketchbook - will be Fantasy - combining 2 or more photographic references together!
No social media 'filters.' No photoshopping or editing! Must be captured in camera!
No matter if you are looking for the perfect reference for your sketchbook or for that perfect shot with the camera, keep the following in mind:
-
Try a new point of view, get down low or stand above & over your subject
-
Think beyond the obvious & and be creative

Always be thoughtful of your composition - PLAN your space! Remember you MUST utilize MARGINS in your sketchbook
