So many AWESOME Portraits have been taken and with many different ideas!
In the beginning of March we began talking about PORTRAITS.
When we left each other on March 13th, 2020 things were unknown, but we were going to take 100 portraits by the end of Spring Break. It has been a couple of weeks later and now its time to show what you've got! What did you try? Upload your photos to Google Photos. Take screen shots of your best 100. On G.Classroom place the images of the screen shots of the 100 portraits into the document provided. On Thursday 4/16 and Friday 4/17 we will look at what you've got. Those of you who have already added the images, start to choose the 20 best images.
