It happens.

Shared this post with my upper level graphics students, although all of my classes would benefit from reading this! First hand account of how an illustrator's work was literally stolen and reproduced.

What could she have done differently?

Field Trip!

Upper level classes (Graphics 2/3 & AP) went on a field trip this past week to Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville. They had to complete a photo scavenger hunt for the following items (not all of Graphics 3 items are included):

• 3 different ideas/images that show emphasis on one item. (Prop/Person)
• 2 images showing each type of balance: 4 images total (Asymmetrical/Symmetrical)
• 5 images taken within a series. (Series: Images that can be shown together that have a common theme.)
• 3 landscapes showing directional lines leading off the right side of the fame. No humans.
• 5 examples of emphasis on texture.
• 2 examples of visual movement leading our eye from bottom to top of the frame.
• 5 examples of images using a prop - NOT an apple!

Meanwhile, I walked around taking pictures of them taking pictures.

It's a beautiful time of year in Virginia. Horsehead and all! (This was apparently a Drake video reference. I'm way out of touch with modern pop culture or so it appears...)
