….when I saw Cee’s Black and White Challenge this week I knew exactly where I was going to get some great line and angle shots
Today, my husband, my daughter A and her partner J and I took J’s nephew to the ROM in downtown Toronto. The new addition is not to everyone’s liking but it certainly has some great lines and angles.
…..the grade 2/3 class finally got to make their ‘monsters’
I introduced this lesson before Hallowe’en but we hadn’t finished a couple of other projects and the Remembrance Day assembly was coming up and we needed to make our poppies so our ‘monsters’ were put on hold.
Our inspiration came from Mies van Hout’s book Friends. She’s a wonderful artist from the Netherlands who likes to use oil pastels on black paper.
Before we started I demonstrated how to draw a random shape and from that come up with a monster. I explained to the class that if they have a monster in mind they are more likely to experience disappointment if it doesn’t turn out the way they envisioned it. Most of the class trusted my instructions and created very interesting and ‘fun’ monsters.
