Lesson 2
FOR THE LOVE OF COMPOSITION
Assignment: Compositional strengths – 25 exposures
Due:
First Peoples Principles of Learning
• Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one’s actions.
• Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential., relational
• Learning requires exploration of one’s identity.
• Learning involves patience and time.
Big Ideas: WHY IS COMPOSITION IMPORTANT TO PHOTOGRAPHY?
Take a closer look around you and start to understand how elements for composition can strengthen your photographs. Composition creates narrative and can direct your story. It can direct the viewer's eyes to you intent. By making a conscious decision about what to include or not include in your photograph can further develop your discourse.
Theme: FALL
To capture imagery that best describes the season of fall. Fall is much more than just fall foliage (although fall foliage is a big part of fall). Fall is the time when many crops are ready for harvest, cold weather first arrives, the days get shorter, and animals begin getting thick shaggy fur for winter. The start of leaves changing, harvest ready corn, first snow flurries of the year, Thanksgiving, Halloween and much more. Fall is that odd time between winter and summer where, depending on your location, the weather can't seem to make up its mind if it will be cold or hot. Fall also varies greatly depending on where you live. "Fall" can mean many different things for many different people and or place. Take some full frame photos (close up) as well as some pictures showing a different viewpoint, preferably one that emphasizes the most important features of your subject. (Center of interest)
What you will do:
A) Investigate 5 of the elements discussed in Worksheet #1 Composition and this time take 10 shots of subjects that best describe those elements. Try to improve on your composition, and to correct any mistakes in exposure you made on with your last photos. Have at least 70 to 100 images to choose from.
B) Create a new album labeled Lesson 2 in photo
C) Make a contact sheet (2 columns) using your best examples - 25 in total.
Please put the images in order on your contact sheet based on the compositional element. Your contact sheet should have 5 compositional areas with 5 images each.
D) Upload onto the server 2 edited images.
Evaluation:
Number of exposures correctly exposed, focused images, image quality,
- contact sheet and your photographic solution/artistic intent/theme/risk taking to the problem.
Note: 2 edited images
