Latest Updates.
New Assignment.
Our new assignment is to create a triptych. This can be in colour or black & white and members can choose any subject matter that they like.
The biggest challenge when creating a dynamic and interesting triptych is to think beyond the simple process of putting three images together, side by side or on top of each other. Instead you need to think about the overall composition, the narrative flow and create a final image that becomes a piece of art.
All members welcome to take part. Deadline 30th June.

INSPIRED BY...
Street Level Gallery, Glasgow.
Brutal Scotland. An exhibition by Simon Phipps.
Following our visit to this exhibition Wifie members were invited to respond to the amazing work created by Simon Phipps. We were also invited to explore the art of 'Constructivism' as part of this project. Below you can see the different approaches that Wifie members took. Some focusing on buildings and the way that they had been inspired by the exhibition whilst others looked at Constructivist Art as their inspiration.
In the Spotlight.....call for participation.
Wifie members are invited to submit photographs for 'In the Spotlight'. This includes members who are new to Wifie and those who have been members for some time. Maybe you have already been part of 'In the Spotlight' but have new work you'd like to share.
