Hi Artists!
You are going to become photographers! What if you don't have a fancy camera? That is ok. Maybe you have a phone? Smart phones have made photography easier than ever!
I have invited a professional photographer to share her story. Please be sure to read about Laura. She is really looking forward to seeing what you capture. Maybe she will send some photos for our online gallery! Please go to QUEST ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHY TAB under NEW LESSON tab.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Take photos of things you find interesting from all different angles (above, below, to the side, behind...). Taking outside photos is a great idea. Start with the auto setting on your camera or phone. I will add some tips if you want to try some other settings.
I will be creating a separate online photo gallery. Email photos to Enardone@sau21.org

"There's no big secret to this enduring popularity: It's just hard to stop watching a Bob Ross show. Try it. His soothing voice and enchanting delivery seems to transcend the act of painting. Bob Ross, Inc. estimates that just about 3% of TV viewers were actually painting along."
Meet Bob Ross
Meet Bob Ross
Hi friends! Bob Ross has a lesson for you. I know you see him in the art room and like pushing his button to hear him talk. He is a pretty funny guy. Ask your parents if they watched him on public television as kids. I do not expect you to follow along and paint this! However, I would love to see what type of LANDSCAPE you can paint or draw! Have fun!

Create a Bear for the New Hampshire Bear Hunt
Create a Bear for the New Hampshire Bear Hunt
What is the New Hampshire Bear Hunt?
"It’s a movement that has been seen and felt all over the world. It’s simple and anyone can participate, you simply put a “Bear” (or any stuffed animal) in a window, outside, in your car, etc. in hopes of someone finding it only to bring joy and happiness to their day! This is also a great movement for kids. Take a walk in your neighborhood, take a drive and see how many bears they can find. It’s engaging and safe. Consider looking online for “Bear Hunt” printables to carry with you in your travels. We have created a map exclusively for New Hampshire. The map is broken down town by town. It should only be used as guide for certain neighborhoods. We do want to remind you however that this movement is a “hunt”, not all bears are required to be on the map, in fact, undocumented bears only make for better finds. Our goal is to keep this moving until our country is healed and things are back to normal. Lastly, have fun with it. We hope you are able to join us and help bring joy, happiness, hope and compassion to your neighbors, friends, family and of course, a random stranger. Be sure to share 📸 your New Hampshire adventures with us! #NHBearHunt2020Happy 🐻 hunting! ❤️"

Hello Artists,
I can’t believe we are in the final week of school! You have made it through an unprecedented historical school year. I am so proud of you. We started the year with a self-portrait. We are going to finish the year with an end of the year self-portrait project. This is a required assignment. This is your final assignment for the year. Below you will find a checklist of what I am looking for on your final project.
Final Project Checklist:
A drawing of yourself with details and color. Make sure you have all of your facial features!
The following Information: Name, date, grade, and age.
At least 2 images representing what you have been doing for fun during the last 12 weeks.
Example: I have been riding my bike, skateboarding, exploring, taking photos, building a garden, drawing, and paddle boarding in the marsh.. I could draw myself riding my bike or paddling in the marsh.
At least 1 image or written statement of what you are most looking forward to doing this summer.
Example:

As long as you meet all of the checklist requirements, you have the freedom to create in your own way. This is a single piece of artwork that includes all elements on the checklist. I will be making a final gallery with your self-portrait submissions.
