Essential question: How can I use the art elements of: Line, Space, Shape & Shadow to create interesting photographs with good contrast and composition?
You will take photos, trying to capture: Line, Space, Shape & Shadow in interesting ways. (If the assignment is not sufficiently challenging, feel free to focus on color as well.) You must post your best photos to your blog AND write a reflection following the instructions on this blog post and you must have at least 3 photo examples of each category (Line, Space, Shape & Shadow) posted to your blog in order to receive full credit!
Look for photo opportunities that already exist, but at the same time, be ready to stage photos if you get an idea that fits the assignment.
You will:
- Take interesting photos of line, shape, and space (or you may instead choose to focus on color)
- Create a new blog post with the following:
- The best photos you took must have at least 3 examples of each category!
- Label each photo with the appropriate category (line, shape, space, shadow)
- A paragraph reflection on the following things
- What are some ways your photography skills have improved over the past few assignments?
- What are some things you struggle with in photo?
- Which of the elements you photographed (line, shape, space, shadow) was the easiest for you? Why?
- Which of the elements you photographed (line, shape, space, shadow) was the most difficult for you? Why?
- Tell me what you feel you've learned from this particular project.
- Is there a photograph or photographer we have looked at that inspires you?
Examples:
Line
Shape
Space
Shadow
