Pictures for Photo 1 PS Final

Photograhy 1 FINAL Project

Can you believe that it's already the end of the semester? I can't. You will be happy to know that you only have one more assignment. But don't put it off because it's a big one!

The assignment

PART 1
You will turning in 10 photos total. The first 5 pictures will be your Best five pictures that you've taken this semester. I will not accept pictures from the summer or last year. They have to be from September until now. You should have around 50-65 pictures to choose from. I will be grading on the principles that I've taught you this quarter. Those are:

RULE OF THIRDS
interesting perspectives [birds eye, worm eye, ect]
CREATIVITY
lines [verticle, horizontal, diagonal]
color


PART 2
The second 5 photos will be new pictures. I've given you from Oct.13th until Oct. 24th/25th to work on these pictures. These pictures should show me what you have learned from the class as a whole. You don't have a lot of pictures to take, but they must be good. I will be grading hard. Creativity and rule of thirds are a must! I will not grade pictures that are fuzzy and out of focus. You should be beyond that point, especially for a final. Just because you only have to turn in 5 photos does not mean you should only be taking 5 photos. That means you turn in you best 5.

This week before fall break you will have time in class to redo assignments and get everything turned in. This is also a good time to look over you photos from the quarter and think about what images you want to turn in. I will also be here to answer questions about what picture is better and such.

This final assignment is due on October 24th and 25th. No exceptions!!!!!!!

That means if you didn't get it in I do NOT want to hear you excuses. I won't listen. You either did it or you didn't.

Photo 1 quiz images

These are the images you will use to complete the in class Photoshop quiz on October 12th and 13th. Right click on each image and save to your student drive. Then open each in photoshop. In class I will tell you how I want you to edit each image.

Color

Today, October 5th and tomorrow October 6th you will be learning about color. In class we went over a powerpoint that we discussed and took notes on. If you were not in class It is your responsibility to get those notes from someone in class and copy them down. Next week I will be giving you a quiz on these terms. I will be asking for definitions and also be giving senarios and you will tell me the correct actions to take. You will also be needing these notes for the in class assignment and your homework assignments throughout the next week.

Your assignment

You need to turn in...
4 photos demonstrating the monochromatic color scheme
4 photos demonstrating the complementary color scheme and
4 photos demonstrating the analagous color scheme

For example, if I was taking monochromatic pictures I might take a picture at Bear Lake showing the blue shy and blue water. I could take a picture of a bowl of garden tomatoes, or of my turquoise sea glass. If I was taking complementary color photos I could take a picture of the orange fall leaves and the blue sky. For the analagous photos I could take a pictre of red, red-violet, and violet flowers in my front yard.

A few things to remember

* Your monochromatic and analagous photos must be 80% of your selected color. So 80% blue or yellow or blue-green with your primary photos and that your 3 colors chosen for your analagous images are 80% those colors.

* When you are shooting your complimentary photos focus on one color and use the other color as an accent. If you have 50% orange and 50% blue in your photo your eye will not know where to go and you will bounce around the image. Instead take of photo with mainly one color and then use its compliment for empasis. If I were using green and red I could take a picutre of a tomatoe plant. I would focus the majority on the green plant and then have one or two tomatoes popping out in the picture.

* Always make sure what you are photographic is interesting. I do not want to see people take pictures of your friends orange shirt and tell me that's your monochromatic photo. It has to be interesting and follow the rules of composition that we have talked about in class. I promise this will be easier than you think!
