10 Ways to Take Stunning Portraits How do you take Portraits that have the ‘Wow’ factor? Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it’s all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules. I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography. I’ll share ten of these tips today and a further ten tomorrow (update: you can see the 2nd part here). 1. Most portraits are taken with the camera at (or around) the eye level of the subject. Get up high and shoot down on your subject or get as close to the ground as you can and shoot up. 2. It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. A. B. 3. 4. Using techniques like slow synch flash can create an impressive wow factor. 5.
Cosa sono i colori primari, secondari e terziari? align--center I colori vengono classificati in primari, secondari, terziari, complementari. Cosa significano questi termini? Sono i colori di base dai quali si ottengono, mescolandoli, tutti gli altri. I colori secondari si ottengono mescolando due colori primari. Giallo + Rosso = Arancione Giallo + Blu = Verde Rosso + Blu = Viola Ogni coppia di colori primari genera un colore secondario. Mischiando un colore secondario con il primario otteniamo un colore terziario. Ecco alcuni esempi di colori terziari! Giallo + Verde = Verde giallognoloGiallo + Arancio = Giallo aranciatoRosso + Arancio = Rosso aranciatoRosso + Viola = Rosso violaceoBlu + Verde = Blu verdastroBlu + Viola = Blu violaceo La creazione dei colori primari, secondari e terziari è stata formalizzata da Johannes Itten che lavorava in una scuola di architettura, arte e design che è stata importantissima per l'arte del Novecento, ovvero la Bauhaus.

Comic Creator The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.

Analizzare un quadro in tre mosse Tempo fa ho scritto un articolo sulla lettura dell’opera d’arte. Un metodo di analisi complesso e approfondito che, però, proprio per la sua vasta articolazione, non può essere praticato sistematicamente per ciascun dipinto da studiare (insomma, quando lo propongo in classe i ragazzi mi guardano storto…). Allora ho cercato di semplificare l’approccio proponendo tre parole-chiave: tecnica, soggetto e poetica. Vediamo cosa si intende per ognuna di queste tre voci. 1. Restando nell’ambito delle arti visive bidimensionali (anche se l’arte comprende anche scultura, architettura, letteratura, teatro, danza, musica etc. etc.) le tecniche più diffuse sono la tempera su tavola, l’affresco, l’olio su tela e l’inchiostro su carta, giusto per citare quelle che si trovano più spesso nel libro di storia dell’arte. Ecco, ad esempio, alcuni dettagli di dipinti realizzati ad olio su tela. 2. WikiArt ce ne propone una sessantina ma quelli più frequenti sono quelli qui sotto. 3. E la poetica?
