I was wondering if you could help me to  show how much I actually love Autumn...

Perspective and photography

Today I will offer you to do a very fun activity of photography to learn how can we change the meaning of things playing with perspective, shape and figure.

1. Perspective

What you'll need:
- A smart-phone with a camera
- Some friends to pose for you
- Objects or landscape
- A bit of imagination and creativity

Choose the emelemnts you want to play with to take a fun picture like in the examples below:

2. Shape and figure

What you'll need:
- A smart-phone with a camera
- Some friends to pose for you
- Objects and landscape
- A lot of imagination and creativity

This time instead of playing with perspective we will play with the meaning of the things and change it when puting it close to an other object. Even though perspective is not the main element this time, also plays an important roll. Check out how in the example here below. The author only used the clouds and some objects and see the new meaning he got by positioning a new element close to the cloud:

3. Meaning

What you'll need (If making your own pictures):
- A smart-phone with a camera
- Some friends to pose for you
- Objects or landscape
- A lot of imagination and creativity

What you'll need (If choosing to make a collage):
- A magazine or an other source of picture such as books or internet
- Scissors and a ruller to cut
- Glue and paper
-A lot of imagination and creativity

Choose your pictures with two different meanings to create a new one. Select half of one picture and half of the other and now glue them!! Check the example here below:

Isn't it amazing? 

I cannot wait to see you projects! Please! Send me a picture when you are done!

Art apps and have fun!

Does your mother, father or anyone in between your friends or family that owns an electronic tablet? If so, ask that person if you can use it for a while and discover a variety of art apps to develop your artistic skills and have a lot lot of fun!

Here a list of some I have tried and I have loved:


MoMA Art Lab:

Have you ever heard about the Museum of Modern Art in New York? Well, it's one of the most amazing Museums in the world, overthere you can find paintings from all kinds of amazing artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall or Andy Warhol. In the museum they offer a lot of fun and interesting activities for kids -and Leopards, like me :)- But for those who find the Museum is a bit far from their houses they have created an app for the tablet with bunch of fun activities and easy tools to create fantastic artworks.

Go try it!
