Barbed wire fences are lines, so are chalk drawings you draw yourself. Look at all the different ways.  played with lines, now you can too!!!!

Remember before you shoot, think about the following items.

1. Think outside the box -your first idea might be original, or it might be the first thing everyone thinks about.

ONE Practice photo will be due on Wednesday, September 28th . ONE Final Photo will be due on Friday, September 30th .
