Photography – Art Term A photograph can be either a positive or negative image. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus an object’s visible wavelengths (the light reflected or emitted from it) into a reproduction on a light-sensitive surface of what the human eye would see. The word photograph was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek word ‘phos’, meaning ‘light’, and ‘graphê’, meaning ‘drawing’ – so ‘drawing with light. Types of photography: Non-digital vs. digital Non-digital photographs are produced using a two-step chemical process: light-sensitive film captures a negative image (colors and lights/darks are inverted) from which a positive image can be made by transferring the negative onto photographic paper (printing). The advent of digital photography has led to the rise of digital prints.
Magical Landscape Silhouette Painted Rocks for a Rock Hunt - Adventure in a Box Decorate rocks with elegant landscape silhouettes drawn over a starry twilight sky! This summer has brought a new artistic trend into the spotlight. Some of my friends have been going on treasure hunts, looking for painted rocks! The idea is to gather rocks, decorate them in a creative way, then hide them in nature. Some cities have local groups where participants post clues as to where their rocks can be found, and others just do it as a way to give a nice surprise to someone. It’s all very simple and innocent, but I love the elements of creativity, adventure and nature exploring related to this pastime!

Claude Monet's Garden 1st grade My first graders are studying Claude Monet right now! First we watched a cute video (below) to learn about the artist Then we drew the garden and the Japanese bridge with oil pastels on watercolor paper. Students had to use three different shades of green, have lily pads that begin large at the bottom of the page and get smaller as they go up the page. The lilies can be any color, detailed or blobs. We used cool colors for the water, plants, and tree reflections. I use liquid watercolors because they are the BEST!!

How many times have you visited a beautiful place only to find it completely packed with tourists resulting in, for example, a sunrise at Angkor Wat with more people than wat? While I don’t necessarily recommend trying to edit people out of all of your travel shots, it’s still fun to play around and view a place as it would look with nobody else there. Fortunately, Photoshop makes it surprisingly easy to get these postcard-style shots.
