Assignment

• Cut out 10 images of the same subject. For example 10 cars, 10 bottles or 10 person.  Cut them out carefully.  So no square shaped images!  If you don''t have folders or magazines to cut out? Draw your own 10 images in the same theme and cut them out. 
• Write down on scrapepaper the 7  compositions  and cut those words out. You can do that in a creative way. 
• Lay down on a white background the 7 different compositions with the 10 cut-out shapes (do not stick them on) With every composition you put the right word and take a picture of it with your phone. Make sure you can see which composition it is!
• When you have them all place them in your artportfolio and send your portfolio to your teacher.  You can do that by  google classroom  ( teacher miss Koppe) or by mail , or google sites (teacher miss Kort)

Pay attention

• Make sure you have 10 pictures within the same theme, they can all be different in size.
• Make sure you cut out the pictures neatly and that these are not square shaped. If you draw pictures yourself it must be drawn neatly.
• Take good photo's with only your work on it and see to it that the photo has enough light and no shadow. The photo has to be sharp.
• You can hand in your work in your portfolio
• Note the instruction of your own teacher WHERE to hand in this assignment. This will be probably the same way as the first assignment.
