Stanzi ended her lessons
After a whole month of training, Stanzi bid her student’s goodbye and likewise her students are grateful on her lessons on Photography.
Stanzi lessons were more on photography and came when the students are preparing for their Neighborhood and cultural projects.
From the good work she has done some of the students had this to say:
“Taking pictures is a bit common to everyone but taking good pictures is so rare for many people who haven’t learned the quality of good photos. And this is what differentiates us from how we were taking photos then, and now. The lessons also opened our eyes that one can venture into becoming photographers or combine it with web designing, as picture is what captures the eye.”
“From her visit in Kenya (nairobits) we got to exchange our cultural practice, and learnt the way of life in New York and the comparison and contraction to Kenyan lifestyle.
We borrowed some ideas like time keeping, being fast & independent and an open mind, and we are looking forward to exploit our creativity. “

Colour Harmony
Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, objects, color, or even elements. The beauty of the world lies on how one sees things, and you can only see things through a reflection of their colors.
We have three sets of colors. Primary, secondary and tertiary colors which when mixed correctly, compliment each other thus creating an inner sense of order and balance in any visual experience.
The colour wheel.
Today, the Course two’s were learning on color theory and they worked with the color wheel after which they will learn how colour can be associated with one's personality. They were taught how they can mix different colors in their sites to create visual interest of their viewers. They practically made their own color wheels and at the end of the day, they appreciated the power of colors.
Students showcasing their colour wheels.
Amazingly, the starting point for understanding the relativity of color is by observing the effects colors have on each other.
Just to illustrate this, let’s carry out a small test. Do you think the red squares below are of the same size? And do they harmonize with their backgrounds?
Have a colourful day !!!
