Does this look familiar?
You should have by now, seen the work of Claude Monet, done some investigating of his work and ideas behind impressionism on our google site and done some drawing en plein air of the trees in our school grounds close to our classrooms.
Now we have a whole bunch of photos that we have messed around with in photoshop and illustrator to lose details that stop you from noticing colour and light as much.
The Rule of Thirds - I am going to talk you through this bit:
It is a common way to grid up a photo, painting or drawing. Sometimes Architects and often designers, refer to it in their work.
There are not many real rules in Art and this rule is one that gets used, broken and remade a lot. Our friend, Claude Monet used it. Do we remember him?
Excuse the wonky lines, this was done quickly on www.picmonkey.com those same lines above are over top of this photo to try and demonstrate what the rule of thirds looks like in practice.
Your next step will be how to use these lines to scale up a drawing for painting onto.
