CRAZY FACE

Students in Ms. Holliday's Photo classes recently experimented with proportion and scale, and contrast in their Visual Journals. This design exercise challenged students to use magazine photos to create a "crazy face" by distorting proportion and scale. The more outrageous the better! After creating their face, students applied contrast by creating a bold pattern using sharpie markers and then embellishing with a 3D material such as puffy paint, feathers, or ribbon. Here are some of the designs:
