Take It Outside Art Contest

Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
641/747-2200; Edinfo@dnr.iowa.gov

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources invites you to enroll your class in our third annual “Take It Outside” Art Contest — win prizes that will get you and your students involved in outdoor activities.

This year's art contest will focus on natural places — from prairies and forests to lakes and streams. Natural places can be public — like national wildlife refuges; state, county and city parks and recreation areas; school grounds. They can be smaller and private — backyards, vacant lots. Regardless of size or location, special places connect us to the outdoors. Where is your favorite place to "take it outside?" How do you enjoy your special natural area? Do you hike? Fish? Paddle? Turn over logs? Stare at the sky?

Students are encouraged to use their artistic skills to create an image that shows them "Taking it Outside" in their favorite natural place (prairie, timber, pond, lake, stream, river, marsh - even their backyard or vacant lot). Be sure they show what makes the place special for them.

For complete details, check out the Contest Rules.

Winning entries will receive prizes and be used for upcoming promotions and displayed at the DNR building during the Iowa State Fair. Participating schools will be entered into a drawing to receive a grant (total of 4 grants awarded) for a natural resources-based recreation experience at a local outdoor recreation area.

Art Shows

Like art? Like the Loess Hills? Visit the Cultural Center in Moorhead Iowa and enjoy their "Celebrate the Hills" art exhibit between now and October 28th. Bring your parents & friends.

This show includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings by local artists. This year's is one of the biggest shows they've had in years. The participants have captured the spirit of the hills and depict natural landscapes at all times of year.

Start painting, because they have plans to add a youth category next year, so that you'll be able to enter your own artworks in the exhibit.

In the Spring, the Center features a Prose, Poetry & Photography Competition. They'd love to have you visit, and to participate!

Last Spring, Boyer Valley English teacher Kris Johnson helped judge the poetry & photography show and last month, BV Art teacher Ted Mallory adjudicated the 2013 art show. See what he considered prize worthy and cast your own vote for the "people's choice awards."

To learn more about the Moorhead Cultural Center, or to find out how to participate in the upcoming Poetry & Photography show, or next year's Celebrate the Loess Hills art show, call Carolyn Archer at (712) 886-5415 or Phyllis Easton at (712) 886-5114

Capitol/Des Moines Trip


8th Grade Field Trip 2013

On Monday, May 13, 2013 the 8th grade class will be taking a field trip to Des Moines. Our bus will be leaving as soon as the Dow City busses arrive at school around 8:20AM. Students who walk or get a ride to school should be sure to get to school at this time.

Our first stop will be to the State Capitol judged by many to be the most be one of the most beautiful state capitals in the nation. We have an 11:15AM tour planned which will take approximately seventy-five minutes. We then proceed to the Iowa Hall or Pride located near the Wells Fargo Arena and Veterans Auditorium. There we are schedules for a ninety minute tour beginning at 1:00PM.

Since our time is limited, I’m asking that everyone bring a sack lunch and plenty of snacks for the bus ride. If you want the school to provide a sack lunch, please let them know a few days ahead of time so that we can be prepared. We plan to eat our lunch at the West lawn of the State Capital.

We will not be back to Dunlap before the busses leave. We expect to arrive around 4:45-5:00PM. Students who live in and around Dow City will be dropped off at Dow City on our way back to Dunlap.

Photography; Chapter 8

  1. CHAPTER LINKS
  2. 08 Digital Photography- This is the Ch.8 page on the class wiki
  3. 08 Online Editing- Don''t have Photoshop? Use one of these to help you complete the editing assignments below
  4. 08 Store, Share, & Print- You're already using Flickr to store and view your pictures, but you need to get them printed for your portfolio. Try one/some of these sites to get what you need.

Chapter 8 Vocabulary Terms
  • Pixel
  • 0-255 grayscale/color values
    • 0= Pure Black/Hue
    • 128= Middle Gray/Tone
    • 255= Pure White
  • Levels (if you want to, it's good to also know channels, histograms, and curves- but since we're speeding through this, it's enough to know levels)
  • File types: (it's good to know TIFF, RAW, GIF, and PNG)
    • .psd (can only open in Photoshop)
    • .jpg aka .jpeg (make sure you "save as" this whenever you're done editing an image)
  • Layers (can't composite without it)
  • Retouching (spotting, dodging, burning, blurring, sharpening, red-eye, etc.)
  • Compositing

SHOOTING (actually, Editing/Enhancing) ASSIGNMENTS
 You should make sure that you use Photoshop to get each of the following assignments done for your portfolio AND uploaded to Flickr ASAP
  • Composite- Invent a new image or reinvent another one in Photoshop, be sure to utilize layers, selection tools, and a variety of retouch tools (see pp. 172-173). 
  • Retouching- Find an older or damaged print and "clean it up" in Photoshop. Please "save as" so that you can keep an original (untouched) version of the picture for comparison (see pp. 170-171). Should be subtle and professional. 
  •  Manipulation- Using Photoshop or some other image-editing tool to alter the image in an expressive or artistic manor. More than retouch, but less than composite. May include, but is not limited to blurred backgrounds, spot-color, desaturation. 
  • Collage/Montage- composite image made by putting together or assembling various smaller pictures to create a larger work- generally several shots are taken of the same subject and "sewn" together in Photoshop.
