PROJECT DUE MAY 9th Contact Sheet 3 edited images Reflection What is a series?
Simply put, it is a group of pieces based on a common element or group of elements. You can base a series on subject matter, a technique, a particular set of materials, a group of visual elements, or a compositional format. A series can be created in an afternoon – as in a group of quick collage studies – or last a lifetime. Many artists keep several series going throughout their careers.

Composition Project
Purpose: To learn the basic rules of composition and why these guidelines create effective images.
RESEARCH DOC ON COMPOSITIONAL RULES
•Collect examples of each compositional rule and place them in a Google slide presentation. Don’t forget to label each image. Save as compositionalimagesearch_name –Rules of Thirds –Asymmetrical Balance –Leading Lines –Symmetrical Balance –Pattern –Point of View (4 images) •worm’s eye • bird’s eye • close up • unusual –Depth (2 images) • Long Depth •Shallow Depth –Framing –Cropping REFLECTION
1. Have you ever heard about these compositional guidelines before? Where? When? 2. How does knowing about compositional guidelines help you become a stronger photographer? 3. Out of your shooting assignment, which image ended up being your favorite/best? Why? What compositional rule did you use? 4. Look at your contact sheet. Is there a compositional guideline that you tend to shoot a lot? Why do you think that guideline is easier for you to see? 5. Which guideline if the hardest for your to capture? Why do you think that? |
SHOOTING ASSIGNMENT
Shoot the following compositional guidelines: –Rules of Thirds –Asymmetrical Balance –Leading Lines –Symmetrical Balance –Pattern –Framing Try a variety of subjects around school to get the best (and most interesting) images. Make a contact sheet of all your attempts. Edit your BEST example of each of the 6 guidelines. Save as "thirds_name.jpg" "asymmbalance_name.jpg" "leading_name.jpg" "symmbalance_name.jpg" "pattern_name/jpg" "framing_name.jpg" |
Point of View Project
Purpose: to start learning concepts of composition and creating interest in your photos
Shoot 6+ images of each viewpoint: Bird's Eye Worm's Eye Close Up Unusual Edit your best example of each viewpoint. Save as birdseye_name, wormseye_name, closeup_name, unusual_name. Turn in: 4 images (bird's eye, worm's eye, close up, unusual) Contact Sheet Reflection |
Point of View Reflection Questions

Out of the four images you edited, which one if your strongest? Why? 4. What feedback did you get? How did you refine your images based off that feedback? 5. What is one thing you did better on this assignment than the first assignment (30 in 30)? |
30 in 30 Project
Purpose: to gain insight on students' prior knowledge
Take 30 photos in 30 minutes to show what you know! Turn in: Contact Sheet Your best edited photo Reflection |
