Le photographe Hugo Suissas est passionné par la perspective. Ses clichés créatifs vont vous émerveiller autant que vous amuser.
Photography is all about perspective - the person behind the camera can use their imagination to tell different stories about a subject from a variety of angles. Perspective gives depth to an image and can make a two-dimensional photograph feel like a three-dimensional scene.

Reprint of the 1921 ed. published by Seeley, Service, London under title: Perspective
My students will be reading the poem The Little Land by Robert Louis Stevenson. First they will read and interpret the poem without illustrations and tell me what they think it means. Then they will look at the illustrations below as we read the poem as a class and, drawing from their own experiences, either from books or movies, tell me if their ideas on the meaning of the poem have changed. We will discuss movies they are familiar with, such as 'A Bug's Life' and 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids'. We will then discuss how illustrations help the reader to visualize the meaning of a poem. Using the reference materials provided by the teacher, students will then envision themselves as being very small. They will create an illustration of what the world would look like from an insect's point of view. English Language Arts Standards,Reading: Literature http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/RL/5/ Colored Pencil drawing by Rachel Wintemberg, The Helpful Art Teacher When at home alone I sit And am very tired of it, I have just to shut my eyes To go sailing through the skies-- Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith To go sailing far away To the pleasant Land of Play; To the fairy land afar Where the Little People are; Where the clover-tops are trees, And the rain-pools are the seas, And the leaves, like little ships, Sail about on tiny trips; And above the Daisy tree Through the grasses, High o'erhead the Bumble Bee Hums and passes. In that forest to and fro I can wander, I can go; See the spider and the fly, And the ants go marching by, Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg Carrying parcels with their feet Down the green and grassy street. Illustration by Gertrude Elliot I can in the sorrel sit Where the ladybird alit. I can climb the jointed grass And on high See the greater swallows pass In the sky, Drawing by Rachel Wintemberg,The Helpful Art Teacher And the round sun rolling by Heeding no such things as I. Through that forest I can pass Till, as in a looking-glass, Humming fly and daisy tree And my tiny self I see, Painted very clear and neat On the rain-pool at my feet. Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg, The Helpful Art Teacher Should a leaflet come to land Drifting near to where I stand, Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg Straight I'll board that tiny boat Round the rain-pool sea to float. Illustration by Julie C. Pratt Little thoughtful creatures sit On the grassy coasts of it; Little things with lovely eyes See me sailing with surprise. Some are clad in armour green-- (These have sure to battle been!)-- Some are pied with ev'ry hue, Black and crimson, gold and blue; Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg Some have wings and swift are gone;-- But they all look kindly on. Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg, The Helpful Art Teacher Watercolor by Rachel Wintemberg, The Helpful Art Teacher When my eyes I once again Open, and see all things plain: High bare walls, great bare floor; Great big knobs on drawer and door; Great big people perched on chairs, Stitching tucks and mending tears, Each a hill that I could climb, And talking nonsense all the time-- Illustration by Arthur Rackham O dear me, That I could be A sailor on a the rain-pool sea, A climber in the clover tree, And just come back a sleepy-head, Late at night to go to bed. Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith How can asking students to illustrate a poem help them to become not only better artists but better writers? Studying writing that evokes clear visual imagery and invites readers to explore the imagination, like the Robert Louis Stevenson poem above, is key to helping students become both better artists and better writers. Resources: The art/writing connection How to Be a Better Writer: 6 Tips From Harvard’s Steven Pinker http://time.com/3584611/write-better-tips-from-harvard/ Quotes from the Time Magazine article linked above: "Our brain works a particular way; so what rules do we need to know to write the way the brain best understands? Steven Pinker is a cognitive scientist and linguist at Harvard. He’s also on the Usage Panel of the American Heritage Dictionary. Steven was recently ranked as one of the top 100 most eminent psychologists of the modern era." His number one piece of advice: "Be Visual: One third of the human brain is dedicated to vision. So trying to make the reader “see” is a good goal and being concrete has huge effects." Via The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century: "We are primates, with a third of our brains dedicated to vision, and large swaths devoted to touch, hearing, motion, and space. For us to go from “I think I understand ” to “I understand ,” we need to see the sights and feel the motions. Many experiments have shown that readers understand and remember material far better when it is expressed in concrete language that allows them to form visual images…" A key element to 'close reading' is inviting students to explore the visual imagery that a well written poem evokes in their minds. One way to explore this visual imagery is to draw it. At the University of Pennsylvania, freshman students are taught how to do 'close readings' of classic pieces of literature. Here is one piece of advice they are given their freshman year: "METAPHORS and IMAGES: Make a mental list of the images that pile up in passage. How do these metaphors or images affect how you read?" http://www.english.upenn.edu/~mgamer/Teaching/101/closereading.html The Helpful Art Teacher says; why not create that 'mental list' by illustrating a passage with a beautiful drawing? Students can demonstrate how closely they have read by including as much detail as possible. Related open ended question: What would you look like from a bug's point of view? If you were very small what would ordinary people look like? Using a camera, cell phone or tablet, get down on the ground and take some photographs of the world from a miniature person's perspective. How does the world look different when you look at it from another perspective? What are some other perspectives or points of view that you can use to explore the world? What about a bird's eye view?

An easy peasy way to draw an exceptionally tall giant! Age: Upper primary Resources: paper, pencil, eraser, watercolour paint, ruler What you do: STEPS 1- 4 I have drawn in pen so you can see! You do it all in light pencil because you are going to need to rub some lines out before you paint. 1) Using a pencil on A4 white paper draw a point in the middle of the top and one at the middle of the bottom. Join these lines using a ruler. Then draw a line from the top middle to each bottom edge. 2) Next, draw a line about 2 cm from the top and one about 5 cm from the top. These are for the head and the waist lines. Then draw a head, a waist and arms. 3) Now add curved trouser bottoms and curved shoes. 4) Draw the sides of the boots and the soles then add the eyelets and laces. Add the sleeves of the shirt, braces and curves lines for the waist. Draw the giants face. Erase all the lines you don't need now. 5) Paint with watercolours. Add a background.
