Cut a range of action photographs from the sports pages of The Age. Select a photo that demonstrates a good sense of movement. As an example for the class, teachers should place an overhead projector transparency sheet over a selected photo. Illustrate for students how the forms of the body can be reduced to simple geometric shapes such as cylinders and rectangles.
Students can select their own photos and begin the above process.
Students can display their shapes in isolation from the photos and attempt to shade the forms to produce a three dimensional effect. The Age Company Ltd 2001. Any unauthorised use, copying or mirroring is prohibited.
