Week Three Prompts

Prompt #7 Singles Main Idea: Focal Point For this page think about a photo of a SINGLE plant or flower or bud. Now is a good time to look for single "perfect buds" to photograph. Our Redbud tree is looking pretty so I plan to snap a photo of a bud from that!

• Snap "singles" photos and create a page using several of them OR enlarge a particularly good one and use it as a focal point on your page
• Journal about individuality
• Use the number one somewhere in your layout

Prompt # 8 Groupings Main Idea: Multiple images For this page you are going to use multiple images...either different shots of different plants or different angles and views of the same plant or garden.

• Try one of the kalediscope layouts using mirror images of the same photo
• Create a mosiac layout using different views of the same flower, plant, or bed.
• Create a layout that looks like the old film strips
• Journal about different views, different perspectives, and different approaches to gardening

Prompt # 9 Non-Flowering Main Idea: The Beauty of Leaves: Examining shapes

• This page is about non flowering plants. Try to use three to four different photos, sketches, that features the many different shapes available naturally courtsey of Mother Nature.
• Journal about your favorrite non flowering plants...do you adore ferns, ornamental grasses or some other? Write about the beauty of simple green!
• Try using different shades of green on this page
