Pairs
7th Rotation Homework Theme -Pairs
Get creative & think about PAIRS. Pairs can be two things made to be used together, things that have similar parts that are connected, or just be two similar things. Salt and pepper, a pair of shoes, peanut butter & jelly. There are so many pairs out there! Please think outside the norm!!!
Remember, to shoot a good variety for your contact sheets! We should not see the same pair over and over again; try multiple pairs!
As a reminder -Photos for photo homework must be new photos.
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
-
Photos and sketches can NOT be manipulated on the computer - capture creativity in what you see
