This project is called Zentangle Designs - JMH Edition.
What is a Zentangle? Put simply, a zentangle is form of meditative doodling that has patterns, or tangles, put together to form an intricate design.
Your design will be in the form of the letters JMH.
First make the outline of the letters JMH on a sheet of paper. They can be block letters, stylized or graffiti style, its up to you.
Next, divide the space inside your letter outlines. You can use straight lines, squiggly lines or shapes, again its up to you.
Inside each of these spaces that you’ve created, you will complete a different design. Have a look online for Zentangle designs for ideas that you might like.
Once you’ve filled each space with a different design, use a black pen or sharpie to make the lines darker. You can leave the letters black and white, or you can add colour… I’ll leave that up to you!
Have fun, be creative! I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Email me - doug.trevors@nbed.nb.ca

Something a little different this week. Think about all of the works of art we've looked at this Semester that represent people: Think of the Mona Lisa or American Gothic, for example. I would like for you to try to recreate one or more of them using photography.
So, imagine recreating Da Vinci's Mona Lisa...You could dress in a similar way to her, recreate the background, and pose like she did, etc.. as closely to the original painting as possible....then capture it using photography.
There are all kinds of famous paintings to choose from, Ex: Girl with a pearl earing (Johannes Vermeer), American Gothic (Grant Wood), Whistler's Mother (James McNeill Whistler), The Screem (Edvard Munch), Self Portrait (Van Gogh), etc..
So...
1. Choose a famous portrait. Look closely at it.
2. Determine what items you will need to re-create it (clothing, props, background etc.)
3. Re-create the image and photograph yourself (or a willing participant!).
Send me the results! doug.trevors@nbed.nb.ca

The Group of Seven was a school of Canadian landscape painters. Founded in 1920 and disbanded in 1933, the group presented the dense, northern forests of Canada as an almost spiritual force. Their paintings of Canada’s rugged wind-swept forest panoramas were eventually equated the idea of Canadian strength and independence. Their oaintings were noted for their bright colours and simple. dynamic forms.

One of the good things that has come out of this whole Pandemic situation is the fact that humour is still alive and well and on display on the internet. One of the main ways people are dealing with the situation is through the use of Memes.
What exactly is a Meme?
It is a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.
Your Task this week is to Create a Meme about your Pandemic Experience.
You can use a still image, .gif or video to create your meme. The sky is the limit and your creativity is the key.
Please keep in mind that whatever you create should be school appropriate!
E-mail me your creations - doug.trevors@nbed.nb,ca
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Exceptional ones may be shared with other Staff members!
