Lesson Plan: Digital Imaging with Geometrical Shapes Using Adobe Elements 11
Objective: Students will learn to create digital images using geometrical shapes and the online image editing tool iPiccy.com. They will explore various geometric shapes, their properties, and how to manipulate them to create visually appealing compositions.
Materials:
Computers or laptops with internet access
iPiccy.com (free online image editing tool)
Projector or smartboard for demonstrations
Printable handouts of geometric shapes for reference
Lesson 1: Introduction to Geometric Shapes and iPiccy.com
Warm-up activity: Begin the lesson with a brief review of basic geometric shapes, such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and polygons. Discuss their properties, such as sides, angles, and symmetry, and how they can be found in the environment and everyday objects.
Demonstration: Introduce iPiccy.com as an online image editing tool that allows students to create and edit images. Show them how to access iPiccy.com and navigate its features, including the various tools and editing options available.
Hands-on activity: Have students create an account on iPiccy.com or use a shared class account, if available. Instruct them to experiment with the basic shapes available in iPiccy.com's shapes library, such as circles, squares, and triangles, and explore how to resize, rotate, and duplicate them.
Guided practice: Provide step-by-step instructions for students to create a simple composition using geometric shapes in iPiccy.com. For example, they could create a landscape scene using triangles for mountains, circles for sun/moon, and squares/rectangles for buildings.
Share and discuss: After completing their compositions, have students share their work with the class and discuss their creative choices, such as how they used different shapes to create their images and how they manipulated the shapes to achieve their desired effects.
Lesson 2: Advanced Geometric Shapes and Editing Techniques
Review: Begin the lesson with a review of the basic geometric shapes covered in the previous lesson.
Demonstration: Introduce more advanced geometric shapes, such as rhombuses, trapezoids, and hexagons, and discuss their properties and how they can be used in compositions.
Hands-on activity: Instruct students to continue exploring iPiccy.com's shapes library to find and use more advanced geometric shapes in their compositions. Encourage them to experiment with different ways of combining and overlapping shapes to create more complex compositions.
Guided practice: Provide step-by-step instructions for students to create a new composition using advanced geometric shapes in iPiccy.com. For example, they could create an abstract design using a combination of different polygons, circles, and lines.
Editing techniques: Introduce various editing techniques in iPiccy.com, such as adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation; applying filters and effects; and using layers and blending modes to add depth and texture to their images. Demonstrate how these techniques can enhance their compositions.
Share and discuss: After completing their compositions and applying editing techniques, have students share their work with the class and discuss the impact of the editing techniques on their images. Encourage them to reflect on how they used geometric shapes and editing techniques to create visually appealing compositions.
Lesson 3: Creative Exploration and Final Project
Warm-up activity: Begin the lesson with a brainstorming session on creative ways to use geometric shapes in digital imaging. Encourage students to think outside the box and come up with unique and imaginative ideas.
Independent exploration: Allow students to explore iPiccy.com and experiment with different combinations of geometric shapes, editing techniques, and creative ideas to create their own unique compositions.

<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On
10 February, around 30 people from all over Harnham gathered at the
Community Sports and Social Club to share ideas about how best to
celebrate the Queen’s amazing 70-year reign. After a lively
discussion, those present put together an outline plan for what might
happen over the Jubilee holiday, 2 - 5 June. It’s developing all
the time!</span></span></p>

few people reported that the residents of their road were already beginning to think about organising their own street party. We now know of at least 7 roads where residents are starting to plan. We are sure others will follow their example.

<span style="font-family: Liberation Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Reports
from our group leaders</b></span></span></p>

Simple Music: Malcolm Simmons</span></b></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
hope this 'report' from the PSM group isn't too late for the AGM.
With much regret I've now decided that I can't be group leader for
that group as health matters have forced me to admit that I can't put
in the energies needed. If someone else would take-up the baton,
I would be very happy to give support as a player or scribe and give
access to any material that we've accumulated since 2003. For me,
I've had a lot of fun and made many friends as well as to gain
motivation to dust off minor music skills dating from my school days.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0.35cm;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">During
the last year the Poetry Reading group had several successful Zoom
meetings and latterly several actual meetings - which were much
appreciated by us all and hosted by Jo and Malcolm Simmons in their
garden and on their verandah. Recent topics covered included
"Gardens" and poems by John Clare and John Betjeman. We
will be reading poems about Autumn and Harvest at our October
meeting.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">

group has under reported to Spire, please forgive: we are in many
ways rather a wild-card group, but do continue to function monthly
and have attenders both from Spire and from other Salisbury u3as. We
meet at the home of a group-member who has a large screen, which is
used to summon up images of various works of art (mainly but not only
paintings) which come into the discussion of the day. The other main
resource for our work is my own personal and accurate visual memory
of art-works, through having been an art-history teacher for many
years, including at Salisbury College of Art when it was in New
Street many years ago.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">A
loose description of a session: the business starts with Homework,
set at the end of the previous session. Each person in turn shows
what they brought (often more than one piece, sometimes many). But
there is no judgment of the quality or talent of the drawings, and no
competition for praise. It is all a matter of what ideas the (very
different) homework contributions bring to the discussion of
the homework theme the were done in response to.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">So,
yesterday's meeting (September 27th) the homework was to draw in
whatever medium or style a visual theme to be suitable for a really
big chalk-drawing on a hillside to be carried out in the manner of
the Wiltshire White Horses, or the Cerne Giant in Dorset. The results
were very varied and interesting, and led us on to further discussion
of iconic qualities in art works, and the importance of offering
clear memory-impressions with the image, rather than realistic
representation of a subject. And how iconic imagery works not only
for Greek orthodox church screens, but for computer screen desk-top
icons.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">You
see our thoughts range quite widely: good exercise for the surviving
grey cells.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff;">I
hope this gives you some idea of what we do and how we set about it.
I don't know if, in this form, you would think it useful to circulate
Around The Spire? Speaking of that phrase: has our Harnham Chapter of
u3a expressed any feeling of linking with the sculpture in the
northeast corner of The Square?</span></span></span></span></p>

Club</u><p></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Would
you enjoy some gentle outdoor exercise coupled with some friendly
competition? Then croquet might be the sport for you.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="en-GB">Hamptworth
Croquet Club has agreed to host a series of eight Monday morning
sessions for u3a members starting on the 5</span><sup><span lang="en-GB">th</span></sup><span lang="en-GB">
July.</span></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">No
experience is necessary, all equipment will be provided (mallets,
balls and hoops). Members need to dress in comfortable clothing (not
too long or loose as this may get in the way of swinging a mallet).
Ladies note the normal stance is to stand with one's legs slightly
apart and swing the mallet between the legs, so slacks or shorts are
preferable to skirts. Flat bottom shoes such as trainers are needed
so as not to damage lawns. A rain jacket is also useful to continue to play in light showers.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">For
those entirely new to croquet some instruction and practice will be
given on mallet grip striking balls, how to run a hoop and elementary
rules of Golf Croquet. The idea is to get everyone playing as
quickly as possible.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hamptworth
Croquet Club is set in the Hamptworth Golf Club at Hamptworth Road,
Salisbury SP5 2DU. This is easily reached in a car by driving about
5 miles down the A36 south of Salisbury towards Southampton, taking a
turning to the right where a brown sign indicates “Country Club”.
Then into Landford Village and take another turning to the right
indicated by a further brown “Country Club” sign. Continue for
about a mile on the Hamptworth Road, past the “Cuckoo Inn” and
the Club is on the right-hand side of the road. There is parking
available and a clubhouse and changing room. Tea coffee, snacks and
drinks can be purchased in the Club House, where there are also
changing facilities. The Club House will be operated according to
whatever co-vid rules are in place at the time.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">There
are five well-kept croquet lawns and a small pavilion 50 yards down a
small hill next to the car park. The area is surrounded by woodland
and has a feeling of spaciousness.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">The
activity will be limited to a maximum of 12 participants, who will be
expected to practice outdoor social distancing and clean and sanitize
equipment after use with soap and sanitisers provided.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="en-GB">Sessions
will be from 10.00 to 12.00 hours on Mondays for eight meetings
starting 5</span><sup><span lang="en-GB">th</span></sup><span lang="en-GB">
July. After the u3a session, participants would be welcome to hang
around until 14.00 hours and watch Club members play their Monday
afternoon regular mix-ins, observe finer points of the game played by
experienced players and the general ambience of the Club..</span></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Cost
will be £3 per session, which includes a green fee and the hire of a mallet. If a member has their own mallet there will be a reduction of
£1 for each session. Members are expected to pay before each
session. The Croquet Club is keen to welcome new members. If after
their u3a croquet experience, participants are interested in joining
the Club to play croquet all day, all the year-round, the Club would
discount any annual membership fee by the amount paid for
participation in u3a sessions.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">If
you want to get swinging (with a mallet). Contact Eric Crowter at
mobile: 07538783041 or</p>

of trying to replicate our usual annual physical meeting as people

The new element, Governmentium, which has the symbol Gv, has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton like particles called pillocks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, symbol Ad, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.</div></span>Salisbury Camera Club Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09416900576972747213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525760756359575540.post-15330858049042566562020-12-16T15:58:00.003+00:002020-12-16T15:58:53.581+00:00Terry's Homework now uploadedI have put Terry Waldren's images on our web site as a slide show.

Sometimes other members of the class present the topic but this time I am again in the hot seat. There was a time I could talk for two hours non-stop but I am finding I need a break nowadays. Anyway, it gives members time to do other things for 5-10 minutes - this will be around the 11.00am mark (midnight your time). </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="color: #3c4043; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: #3c4043; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Needless to say, your members can see some of our latest pictures on our new web site at </span><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://u3acanberracameraclub.smugmug.com/&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw1w_acmeqpr4e9Wd6zkKZDd" style="color: #1a73e8; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">http://u3acanberracameraclub.<u></u>smugmug.com</a><span style="color: #3c4043; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> if they care to check in.

Are you a budding writer? A Jane Austen, JK Rowling, a John Steinbeck or a John Grisham in the making? If so, we are looking for you to enter our Third Age Trust, creative writing competition.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.12px;">
Based on the successful Welsh competition, we are launching a UK-wide initiative to find the best short story penned by one of our members. The winning story will be published in Third Age Matters magazine, which reaches over a quarter of a million households. We will also commission at least one illustration to accompany it. The winner will see their story in print and will receive a framed copy of their story as it appears in the magazine, with the bespoke illustration.</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.12px;">
You may want to discuss your ideas in your interest groups via phone, email or virtual conference call (<a href="https://www.u3a.org.uk/how-to-guidance" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">there is guidance on how to do this</a>) or this may inspire you to start up your own creative writing group. There is advice on how to do this from our <a href="https://www.u3a.org.uk/learning/subjects/271-creative-writing" style="color: #000099; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Creative Writing</a> subject adviser. Whatever you decide, we want your story! </div>
