5th Rotation Homework Theme - Opposites
Get creative & think opposites. Many famous pairs are often opposites. Good vs evil, sweet & sour, big & small...think about opposites in color theory, light and shadows. You have so many creative antonyms to find & capture.
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:
-
Photos and sketches can NOT be manipulated on the computer - so capture creativity what you see, or think how to manipulate your space or subject matter PRIOR to pressing the button on the camera
-
Look at the things 'differently' - 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
