Holiday
4th Rotation Homework Theme -Holiday
While fall, Thanksgiving and winter holidays are coming up, we want you to think beyond the many holidays contained within this season and what you are seeing in stores now.
Be creative with your choices of "Holiday" & even try to think beyond some you may already celebrate. Whether it might be a 1st birthday or a 100th anniversary celebration, Chinese New Year or Indian Summer… be creative & look at things differently.
Look around you & your neighborhoods. Lights could be a fun challenge - candle light, festivals of lights or even Christmas lights… could it be a challenge you might 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:
-
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
