CASology 83 - Jump!


This week's CASology Cue Card is Jump!



I guess I must have a sister who loves horses (I do!) because I immediately thought of horses jumping. To keep this card very CAS, I masked a square and sponged only the top and bottom with sky and grass colours (leaving a white area between the two colours). Your eye  is very smart and it 'completes' the square so that it doesn't really look like anything's missing. Having a defined focal point leaves plenty of breathing room for a clean feeling!

As usual the DT has come up with some great interpretations of this week's Cue Card - go check them out and then make sure you join us before the deadline on Sunday at 5:00 pm EST.

  1. Your card really made me laugh - not sure if you have them in Canada but one of our banks (lloyds tsb) used to have a logo very similar to your card http://enablemagazine.co.uk/index.php/2013/02/lloyds-tsb-launches-online-british-sign-language-service/ It really took me back in time!

  3. You would think with the small size it would not create as HUGE an impact statement, really powerful, and frolicky at the same time!!! Love it!

  5. This is fantastic. I did not even realize that the square was not complete until you mentioned it. You are right--my eyes are smarter than me. Love the motion in this horse, and the way you masked and sponged.

  8. This cue card word reminds me of Pictionary. I'll bet you loved that game, or would love it, if you haven't played it. You draw a picture - like picture charades - and the other people have to guess what word you are trying to depict. This beautiful horse (which I would expect you to choose, of course, you do them so well) absolutely depicts JUMPing!! Love it, Ardy! Hugs, Darnell
