Food Photography

I attended a food photography class taught by Dadisi Olutosin who is a chef and photographer.  It was a great class because we were able eat the food he made after we took the pictures!  In the class I learned about the rules of composition for photography; this includes balance, rule of thirds, negative space, etc...

Below are the pictures I took. ~ JM

Valentine cats

This month I found this cute project to make for Valentine's day on Pinterest. They are Oreos covered in white chocolate decorated with cute kitty faces :)

365 Days of Art

Recently I bought a book titled, "365 Days of Art" by Lorna Scobie. The book encourages creativity in daily art exercises.  This is a great way to stir the inner artist in you!  Even if you do not have this specific book there are many ways to incorporate creative activities into your daily routine.

Below are some examples I did from the book. ~ JM

Instructions: Color in the fruit, but try not to use the correct colors. Challenge your mind.

Instructions: Add your own buildings to the sky.
