My Garden

As we have been spending so much time in our gardens during the lockdown, it seemed appropriate to pick this as our topic for this month.  
You can have as many photos each as you like this month!

Our topic for June will be more of a challenge I think!  The National Gallery has produced a short clip to do with still life paintings, to encourage people to make their own version.

https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/stories/make-and-create-construct-a-still-life?utm_source=wordfly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NG_2020May_MakeandDoing_NM&utm_content=version_A

The clip only lasts 10 minutes so if you have the time (!!) you will hopefully enjoy watching it.  At the end it suggests the sorts of things that you might like to put in your still life - basically some guidance for you.

However don’t worry too much about following the "instructions" exactly - do what you want and experiment!  For this topic you are allowed to play around with photo editing software if you want to and have it.  You can again send in as many photos as you like.  Enjoy!
