Compositon homework assignment

Visual Design for when I am gone.....

The assignment is on the board in the front of the room with a drawing if you have any questions.
Here is the assignment for Tuesday....

1. Get printer paper and draw a rectangle 2 inches tall by 9 inches wide. This will be your value scale. You need to draw 9 values from white to black. Make sure you shade as dark as you possibly can. the middle should be a midtone gray. I do not want to see any sort of line or smudge in your shading!

2. One the same paper create a rectangle with 6 values. Pick any colored pencil and shade from light to dark with 6 values.

3. after you are finished get a new piece of printer paper and draw and shade a circle into a sphere. There is an example on the board and an even better example in the 704 file. To get to the 704 file go here:  computer> 704 ETC> Shaum Photography> Visual design> Value

4. After you shade your sphere get a piece of art paper. You get to choose what you decide to draw. Whatever you choose you need to have all 9 values shaeded in the drawing. Make sure to make it neat and have a good design using everything we have learned thus far.

Please be respectful and helpful to you sub. See you Thursday!

Photo 2 portrait assignment

Portrait Photography

Objective: Exploring lighting and compositions using yourself and toerh people as your subjects. To learn how to find and create the most effective lighting situations for portrait photography. To think and compose creatively, using the compositional elements we have discussed.

Project: You will shoot at least 30 exposures. Focus half of your images on self-portraits and the other half on portraits of other people. [friends/family/strangers] For the self-portraits, say something unique about yourself. Turn yourself into a fictional character. Show yourself as you think you are, as you wish to be, as you think others see you, or simply make yourself a character in an interesting image. Whatever you do, make the image more interesting than a simple mug shot! Portraits do not need to be only pitures of a person's face. 

Be experimental: Try different camera angles, poses, background, shutter speed, and spertures. Seek out interesting backgrounds and avoid backgrounds which distract from your subject. Try getting close with the camera. Then move back for distance shots. Bracket [take 3 or 4 shots at varying exposures of anything you think might make a strong image]. Try out the different lighting techniques learned in class:

Side lighting [45 degrees]

Side lighting [90 degrees]

Front lighting

Backlighting [silhouette]

Turn in:

5 enhanced 8x10 images [1 must be a self portrait]

3 portraits must be retouched

Contact sheet [30 images]
