The GIANT Ruby Slippers were a BIG hit at the JDRF Gala

The Ruby Slippers were an exciting addition to the visual splendor of the JDRF Gala at the Duke Energy Center on Saturday May 11, 2013. Attendants were in aw and wanted to have their photo taken in front of the display.
Here are some photos of the slippers that day and night.

Thank you David, Robyn, and Leon for all your help with this project!!

A LOT of progress was made this weekend! Now we are starting to bubble wrap the first shoe so that we can cover it with red sequined fabric!

The next Ruby Slippers task was to cut out the soles of the GIANT shoes!

We also cut out and painted parts of the house and grass for the backdrop.

The IB Visual Arts class began building the Ruby Slippers by first creating a stencil for the sole of the shoe. 

Architectural Abstractions- Photo 1

Students in Photo 1 at PHS were recently presented with the challenge of shooting digital photos to create abstract designs based on architectural structures. They emphasized simple elements such as line, shape, color, and contrast to create some bold designs. We also looked at the work of Ted Van Cleave for inspiration http://tedvancleave.com/architecturephotography.htm
