This is one of those assignments that I’m a little embarrassed to share because of its simplicity. But I’ve consistently gotten great results from it, so I’m sharing…albeit blushing a little. I’m also a firm believer that if you have numerous good examples of something, it amplifies student imaginations, giving them more springboards to work from. I’ve included four great photos that can help anyone who wants to do this project with their students.
Classes like AP 2D Design, IGCSE Art, or even IB Visual Art, are often heavily photography based, and these simple tricks can give a lot of punch to a student’s source material (the images they use for art making).
Tell students to take 15 photographs from above (or below), show them the examples, and allow them to tweak the work with Photoshop afterwards. The rest should take care of itself!
Draw, Paint, Think 
Simple but radical!!! Love it!
