Over your Spring break I want you to continue to

“THINK LIKE ARTISTS”

So I am giving you a very short but easily accomplished assignment: take a few minutes a day and take photographs of the following 13 subjects with camera or phone :

1.     Household tools

2.     Glasses or bottles filled with a liquid with light behind it

3.           Food

4.           Objects with a shine

5.            Inside a closet

6.            Messy desk

7.            The street

8.             Looking through a …?(your choice)

9.             The bathroom

10.                     The kitchen sink

11.                     Looking around the corner

12.                     A messy drawer, partly open

13.                     In the mirror

You will post these pictures on your blog IN NUMBERED ORDER as above.

You will be graded on ORIGINALITY and CREATIVITY as they apply to lighting, viewpoint, and thought provoking ideas.  ie, Can you show the commonplace to the world and have us see it in a new or different way?  Hint: extreme closeup works very well on these subjects.

PICTURES         7pts a piece

CREATIVITY    10pts
