Weekly Assignment: Recreate an Image (Wk 1)

Recreate one of these images with members of the WH community. Try not to use students from this class. You may show your models the image and you are responsible for coaching them on how and where to pose. Two things to keep in mind:

1. Pay close attention to the original. Include whatever elements you decide are most important.

2. Be creative. Think about fun combinations of people and interesting settings.

Once you've taken the picture, follow this link to upload it. Due Monday, January 30th. Email Jason with any technical difficulties.
