What you can expect…
The Art of Outdoors strives to capture beauty and art from the outside. Whether it’s pictures taken from a nature trail, or the outside architecture of a building,
being outdoors is simply beautiful. It’s not all about what an object is, but more of
how it looks, and what elements make up this form of art. This magazine forces you
to ask questions like: Why is this park bench art? How are these trees symmetrical?
What principles of design apply to this garden? This magazine will also train your eyes to notice art in things that you didn’t
view as art beforehand. You will learn about the principles and elements of design
through The Art of Outdoors because it focuses on these principles and elements in regards to the “outside world”, and helps
anyone who enjoys the outdoors understand how these elements and principles work
together to create art. I guarantee if you love outdoors and can appreciate art in different forms, The Art of Outdoors
magazine is for you! 4

About the Editor…
Montina O’Sha Russell is a Senior at East Carolina University where she is majoring in birth-Kindergarten education, but has a fond love of being outdoors and capturing art in the form of photography. The interest that Montina has in being outdoors all started when she was growing up in the outskirts of the small country town of Mount Olive, NC, and her father would landscape the yard with beautiful flowers and arrange them in unique patterns that were eye-catching. Over the years Montina developed and eye for beauty and art that was outdoors. Montina began buying cameras and snapping pictures of anything that she thought was art, and with hard work she became the senior graphic designer for “Roc House Entertainment”, where she created the famous outdoors logo that is still used today. After taking elective courses at East Carolina University in art and photography, Montina has learned to capture beauty and art in almost anything! The Art of Outdoors magazine is a preview of what is to come for Montina and her career. ENJOY!

Object in Proportion
This photograph is an excellent representation of outdoor proportion in a space. Everything in this photograph is proportional to its surrounding from the trees, to the buildings, to the stone wall.

Objects NOT in Proportion with Space
The man in the Kayak is NOT in proportion with the space of water around him. Because the man is not in proportion with the water, the focus is taken off of him and rather, your attention is on the water when you look at this photograph. Town Commons, Greenville, NC.

Human Scale
The park bench is an example of human scale because it was made using dimensions of human size and with the best use and functionality in mind. This bench is located at the Greenville Town Commons, Greenville, NC.

Symbolic Scale This photograph is an excellent example of symbolic scale. The statue shows an older man doing some hard construction work. In actual life the statue is much taller than an average person and that is how this photograph represents symbolic scale
Photograph was taken from in front of ECU’s art building on campus. Greenville, NC.
