S1 Colour wheel

Have a look at the fantastic colour wheel which some S1 classes have created in Mrs Cuthbertson's classroom.  The pupils brought in a variety of coloured objects to create the wheel and have been using it to help them understand colour theory.  Well done S1!

Photography

Our photography class has been working hard on a portraiture project.  Below, one of our pupils explains what she has been learning. 

In photography we have been learning about portraiture.   We have been outside taking photographs of each other using a digital camera, and have had a go at using a digital SLR camera.  We have taken photos in the school of people within the class and have learned how to edit and manipulate them on Photoshop.

We have also been working working on researching the work of famous portrait photographers.  I have chosen to look at Mario Testino the photographer, who has taken photos of lady gaga, Princess Diana, and many more celebrities.  He worked for Princess Diana and photographed her famous “Varity fair’ cover. 

I have enjoyed taking photographs and learning how to work a digital camera to compose better photos.  I feel much more confident using Photoshop now and am able to remove blemishes, adjust the brightness and contrast of an image as well as cropping images.
