Does color change the feeling?
Consider the many ways you can alter the focus with color. Notice the red outline on the fish jumping out of the water. I did the second coloring on Paint, a program which comes free with PCs with Windows.
Does the reddish outline on the fish draw your attention to it? Don't worry if your coloring online is not perfect. It creates a feeling. And the feeling is the message we want to convey. Imagine that the rest of your images are about water, and how it is being denied to poor people all over the world.
Our purpose is not to create great art. The art department and art schools are here for that. Our purpose is illocutionary discourse, conversation with others that helps us know them as humans. Our human interactions are what make up our community. Try painting a scene that matters to you with a graphics program that is available on campus, ask jeanne and Susan to find out where you could find a color printer for use on campus. We used to have some. Hope we still do. jeanne
Michael Jacobs' Instructions:
Now that we've talked about the power of visual images and your hidden talents at creating them, here are instructions for the waterfall card, as it was featured on the Carol Duball show by Michael Jacobs, who also features it in his book, Cards That Pop-Up, Flip & Slide, by Michael Jacobs. North Light Books, 2005. Available on Amazon.com. Photo Flip Card. Carol Duvall Show : Episode CDS-1813.
Michael Jacobs uses five photos. I learned to make the waterfall card with Reiko Sakata. She used four images. So I reckon the number of images in the waterfall is up to you. Below, I've provided the set of instructions we used last semester at CSUDH. Maybe they'll help. I'm in the process of making a model. jeanne
jeanne's Instructions:
- Decide which photos or images you wish to use. Then make the image frame pattern large enough to hold all the images you have chosen. Cut one image frame for each of the images you ahve chosen. All these frames should be the same size. Decorate them differently according to the free space each leaves inside the frame.
- Make the waterfall card itself large enough to comfortable display the frame size for the set of images you have chosen.
- Cut a slider or pull to hold the waterfall frames and images with space for the number of images you have chosen.
- Time out to make the model using jamesbrown01.htm . Will upload it soon. jeanne

One neighbor draws the water from the stream out of the ground and sells it. Stream is drained, vegetation dies, community left poorer for one neighbor's profit. It happened in Idlewyld. Right here in California.
