Watch the video above (www.youtube.com/W1bpDgp8ID0) Copy and paste the questions and answer them in the text box that becomes available once you hit SUBMIT. Each question should be answered with a minimum of two sentences.
- What is the difference between movement and rhythm in a photograph?
- What is the difference between harmony and unity in a photograph?
- Can you include all the element and principles of design in one photograph?
Week 2
Diagram a Famous Photograph - Using a famous photograph (see textbook) draw a series of diagrams (text boxes) indicating ways different elements of design are used in the picture to achieve one or more of the principles of design. Upload to Artsonia under “diagram”. Have at least five different text boxes.
Black and White Circles and Ovals assignment p. 110 The photographic eye.
Take at least 20 pictures of only circles and ovals. You may have other shapes in the photographs as well, but be sure that each frame is dominated by one or more circular shapes. You may want to set up some of the shots (try experimenting with a cup and saucer, with spoons, plates or bowls), but at least half of your shots should be of "found" circles or ellipses (i.e. ones that you just happen to see in your yard, neighborhood or town).
Try to find a variety of compositions using circles or ovals. Try some with just one circular shape, some with lots and some with a few. Try some shots in which one or more circular shapes interact with squares or other shapes. Shoot in bright sunlight at the point of departure setting.
Keep in mind the various functions of shape and spatial relation as you do this assignment. Without losing sight of your primary theme (circles and ovals), see if you can use shape to indicate mass, such as the "bigness" of a pumpkin or a boulder. Try to produce interesting examples of proportion and compelling spatial relations. In addition, try to come up with a few shots that express what you think or feel about a subject.
All these shapes are available to you as a photographer, just as they are available to any artist. You just have to find them.
This is not as hard as it may sound. Once you begin keeping an eye out for interesting shapes, you'll probably be amazed at how many are out there, just waiting for you to capture them.
Start by looking for individual shapes. Then pay attention to how those shapes may repeat themselves and establish visual harmonies. Finally, allow interpretations to emerge as you experiment with different compositions, different combinations of objects, different viewing angles. Allow space and spatial relation to tell you something about your subjects . . . and then try to pass that "something" on to others through your photographs.
Don't be at all surprised if the "something" that you learn and want to pass on can't be expressed in words. If it could be, you could just say it or write about it, and you wouldn't need to photograph it. The best photographs present an image or idea or feeling in a way that only a photograph can. Strive to notice those things that need to be photographed, rather than spending time on those that simply can be.
Upload your black and white picture to Artsonia under the “Circle & Ovals” project. Title your photograph and answer the prompts or write an artist statement. Post at least 5 of your out-takes to your blog.
B/W Pattern assignment p. 92 The photographic eye
Your assignment is to find and shoot patterns. Any series of lines creates a pattern.
Look above your head, down at the ground, as well as straight ahead.
Try to find subjects that are primarily patterns, not just ones that have some pattern in them. So far as possible, have the pattern fill the frame of the photograph. Try to have nothing in the photograph except pattern.
Though your assignment is to shoot pattern, you may want to consider some of the other qualities of line as well, such as direction or structure. See if you can add them into a photograph without losing sight of your primary goal. Use these other qualities to strengthen the pattern, not to detract from it. For example,you may want to use perspective so your pattern recedes into the distance, suggesting direction. Or you may find a series of small patterns contained in a large one, creating structure

Week 7
Compare two photographers research paper: Using your chromebook look at famous photographers like Ansel Adams, Matthew Brady, W. Eugene Smith, Margaret Bourke White, Sally Mann, Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange, Cindy Sherman, Edward Steichen, Irving Pen and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Or look at the photographs on: http://www.photographyschoolsonline.net/blog/2010/30-photos-that-changed-the-world/ (Links to an external site.)
Write a 500 word (at the minimum) essay about how their photographs are similar and different. Use the art criticism steps of describe, analyze, interpret and judge along with the elements and principles of design. Remember to quote your sources and list them in the bibliography (MLA or other). This paper needs to be in your own words. Students should not copy and paste large chunks of information. Rephrase and quote your sources. Students will be turned in for plagiarism and receive ISS if they violate the North Stokes High School plagiarism code.
Upload your google doc paper to Canvas.
David Hockney photography: Students will be taking several photographs of the same landscape. Minimum 20 photos!!
"It takes time to see these pictures - you can look at them for a long time, they invite that sort of looking. But more importantly, I realize that this sort of picture came closer to how we actually see, which is to say, not all at once but rather in discrete, separated glimpses which we then build up into our continuous experience of the world" - David Hockney
The Process
STEPS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS
First: Create a sketch of a landscape that you find interesting and uses perspective as a focal point. Break it down into smaller pieces either by folding the paper randomly or by drawing lines through your sketch.
Second: Take digital camera to scene and begin photographing using photographic concepts previously learned. Make sure to slightly overlap each picture taken.
Third: Download images into computer.
Fourth: Bring images into Photoshop or Pixlr
Fifth: Print out on color printer using photo quality paper. Or Mrs. Henderson will print to the black and white copier
Sixth: Arrange images onto thick poster board or railroad board accordingly, then paste down using glue. Some students find it helpful to tape the pictures together on the BACK.
Upload to Artsonia as "David Hockney". Give your project a title.

Week 8
Old Things
Assignment: Photograph a variety of old objects, things that are worn from age or use —houses, tools, toys, furniture, etc. Upload to Artsonia as "Old Object". In the artist statement discuss where you found the object. Post your second and third favorite old object on your blog.
Goal: Show how the age of an object influences its character.
Tips: People in our society tend to think that a thing has to be new and glossy to be good. Few people appreciate things that have earned their character through age and lots of use. That's what this exercise is about.
Look for peeled paint, rust, broken glass, things that have been abandoned, used up, worn out. They have a statement of their own, a special mood. That mood may be sad ("This thing is all worn out"), or happy ("This thing has been useful
for years").
Try to capture the object's character. Notice how light and texture may help to portray that character.
Possible subjects include old houses, cars, tools, bridges, train tracks, machinery, abandoned buildings, an old can, discarded toys, a chipped plate, teacup, fork.
(Note: If you find something indoors that you want to photograph outdoors, be very careful that it doesn't look set up. Adjust the arrangement until it looks natural.)
Me and Myself Photograph
Scan or re-photograph a photo of yourself as a child and add your current self to the image. Upload your photograph to Artsonia.

Copy and paste the following questions into either a google doc or the text entry field in Canvas and answer the questions.
Magazine Cover – Create a magazine cover using your own photographic image. Include a cover title and a list of articles, which would be within the magazine.
Successful magazine covers will have similar proportions to a magazine ie: look like a 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.
