Sian’s updating the online gallery
Sian Davies has just started working at the school on a one year apprenticeship. It’s already looking to be a good decision for the school. We’re going to try our hardest to give her a really good experience, learning about different aspects of running the school and already in return we get to benefit from her skills. If you see her around please say hello.
One of her responsibilities is to maintain the artwork in our online gallery (which had become a bit neglected recently – sorry). If you currently attend a class and you don’t have an artwork of yours in the online gallery, or you would like to change the one that is currently showing, please email sian@insight-art.co.uk with a photograph of your artwork attached.
To take a good photograph of your work you might like to consider the following:
– Hold the camera still and make sure there is enough light to get a sharp photograph.
– Don’t hold the camera too close to your artwork or the image will distort at the edges.
– Avoid using the flash or shining a light at it or you will get white glare in your photograph. Try to use day light coming from the sides of the artwork. Photographing out doors on a bright but cloudy day is good.
– Try to use the camera to crop the image at the edges.
– Take a few and compare to decide on the best to send to Sian.
– If you have a photo editing package on your computer, use it to get the brightness and contrast correct.
When you have the photo you want to send to Sian, please make it between 1 and 2 mb in size if possible.
You might also like to bring in a framed work for our display on the stairs at the school in Barnet too.
