Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a relaxing and productive break. I will be posting this weeks assignment Tuesday morning. This week we will be doing Forced Perspective (trust me it’s fun).

I will also be reaching out to our friends who appear to be missing in action. If you know a student who has not participated in this or any other class reach out and encourage them. If they need help refer them to me and I will help or find someone who can.

In case you don’t know. . . We Are In This Together.

Hello Friends!

As you know, we will be going on “Spring Break” next week. Teachers have been asked by administration to refrain from work during this time and to focus on our families.

So, if you are a student that needs help with something –please email me before Friday, April 3, 4:30 pm, so that I can advise you/help you with questions.

If you are joining our class in google classroom late for any reason (which you do not have to explain), you can still join and do all the work. I will give feedback after the break.

If you are a student that has been keeping up all along or have caught up with the work- you are all set until we return & thank you for sticking with it!

Please continue to stay home, stay safe (social distance & wash your hands frequently), and be part of the solution to save lives.

Thank you to all of our families doing their part by complying with the stay-at-home order and for encouraging your learners to work virtually from home. Additionally, I want to thank our families that act as first responders in: health care, law enforcement, food provision, energy, water/waste public works, defense, communication, community government and everyone in the Dearborn Public Schools learning community.

Please keep the class work coming in through google classroom. This week’s theme is “Abstract Photography. — Take a minute to creatively look at the world around you whether in your home or your yard.

As difficult as it may seem, please continue to social distance – if you find yourself getting discouraged check out this free course put out by Yale University -The Happiness Lab. They have a session called Finding Happiness During COVID-19 Pandemic-it looks worth checking out…I checked out some of it…it’s good stuff!

Stay Safe!

Week 3 Assignments have been posted. You will be learning about Abstract Photography and using your phone to take interesting abstractions of everyday things.

Look around your environment for objects or locations that would make interesting Abstract Photography. Try looking around your house, backyard, or go for a walk.

Take three pictures using your phone using the tips included in the slides from Assignment 1 (I have attached it again below)

Here are a few Abstract images I took the other day:
