Very nice. When the challenge was first posted, I couldn't come up with a single idea for a photo. I'm losing it I guess. It would be so nice if there were a drug that could get the creative juices flowing...
ReplyDeleteI really think being here for the discussion part helps. I hand out the notes, then explain what I am speaking about, and then I open it up for questions and discussions. I think collaborating and discussing helps inspire and motivate people. Interaction is a great tool for getting past a dry spell.
ReplyDeleteIf you are still thinking of doing the Contrast Challenge, then look at the way the light hits objects - black and white photography is a great medium for the challenge. If you want to challenge yourself further, look at color combinations, when two colors on opposite sides of the color wheel are juxtaposed, or placed next to each other, they create contrast. (Think micro, if you are trying to capture contrast of color – so you do not end up with too many other elements in your photo) Contrast in texture of the objects you photograph is also another thing to keep your eye open for. Two or more different textures side by side will also create contrast.
Each of these challenges are to create a good example of the challenge. That does not always mean we’ll have a good photo with all the elements of a good work of art. These challenges are designed to help people separate different elements and become more aware of the ways they can be used in our works (and to stimulate some very interesting and intelligent conversation about the works we view). Not to mention – to create a fun night out with other create people!
I hope I am not cheating my promise of no email by responding to this post, but I am beyond excited about the blending of minds that have been present at our meetings....and more then astounded at how the "snowball" effect of interest has begun to explode in the "Arts" in Amsterdam.
ReplyDeleteJessica is purely one who has been instrumental in blazing the trail for this journey. She is loyal and very able to help to network the group in areas that are amazing.
If there are any who read this who may have not attended meetings, possibly because they are not sure who we are, or what we do, please take that bold leap of faith and join us. You will be pleased when you do, and you, too, will then enjoy the chance to expand your mind, body and soul, through the "Arts".
