Room I and S collaborate on some Forced perspective photos.

BFG fist bumps.

Hands up!

Squashing little annoying ......

Just hide under this. You'll be fine.

Hold your balance. Don't be the first to fall.

I'll give you a boost up on to this enormous pencil.

No!!!!!

The final moment before Room L was squashed by the angry giant.

Please don't throw that pencil Le'Arah.

Help, I'm losing my balance.

Our second session of Forced perspectives

This week we got items to create forced perspective images. Toy dinosaurs, watering cans, shoes and even some of the new toys from the sandpit.We had to think carefully about what we could do with the items. Body language and facial expressions can make our break the realism of the image. We also had the challenge of being restricted in our spaces, as it was raining. Forced perspective needs to have a long distance to allow for the different layers to change the size of items. Lucky for cloak bays and verandas. It is pointless having a photo of something that looks ordinary, like holding a toy car.
Once we took the photos we had to crop the images to get the best effect. Remembering what we wanted as the main focus gave us a better idea about what to cut out.  Chopping of hands never felt so good. We even found that big blocks of colour are not good things.

Digital Art - Forced perspective

Today Room S got the opportunity to use their green hat thinking and think outside the box with photography. Each student was given a piece of a photo, then they had to find the rest of their group by making the photo. Once the photo was made they then had to go and have ago at recreating their photo. How? That's where the green hat thinking came into it. Some groups were really successful, some groups weren't. But we all learned a lot about taking forced perspective photos. We can't wait until next time.

Geometry detectives.

Have you ever noticed all the geometry that surrounds us everyday? Well, Le'Arah and Elizabeth certainly do. Today they took the iPad and went a hunting for 3D shapes.
