Ok.....

.....that's a bit better.  I have had a look ahead and I have to shoot for real and implied triangles (need a few props and some co-operation from one of my sons), circles (will take some thought for the implied circles), and then rhythms and patterns and finally applying the elements of design for which I have some idea what I am doing (i think).

And then I can give my full concentration to Colour (that's the one I'm looking forward to) in order to try and get Assignment 2 off to my tutor.

I had a look at one of my first blog posts which listed my aims for this course.  The first aim was to enjoy it and the last aim was to push myself.  Hmmmmmmmmm

Preparation

I spent the weekend (well, Sunday mainly) preparing for the next part of the course, which is Elements of Design.  It covers points, lines, shapes and (a bit later) colour. I'm quite looking forward to this part actually. I've been planning what photos I already have which I can use, and what photos I need to take (there's a lot!).  I'm getting a bit confused with the difference between "rhythm" and "pattern" so I'll have to look into that in more detail, perhaps a nosey around some blogs may help point me in the right direction.  If not, I'll have to post on the OCA forum...

I must also email my tutor and let her know that the next Assignment will be late (surprise) - the kids are on school holiday now, and while they are old enough to make their own entertainment, I find I am being called on for my taxi and cooking skills !
