Photography Portfolio

This assignment was handed out to students today...

For your final assignment in photography, you will use the techniques and skills you have learned and practice in class to create a portfolio on a topic of your choice.

Your portfolio should include:
-Cover Page, including
    -name
    -due date
    -title of your portfolio (what is your topic? Be creative)
-Your ten best photographs focused on the topic
-A paragraph answering the following questions:
    -Why did you choose this theme?
    -Describe how your photos demonstrate photography techniques we have learned.

Your pictures should not be random; they should be focused around a theme and each one should demonstrate a technique you have learned during the unit.   Some of the techniques we have discussed include:
-line (leading lines, S curves)
-angle
-the rule of thirds (think tic-tac-toe)
-distance

You may either print off your photos at home, or, bring them to school on a memory stick or email them to Miss McMillan by Monday, June 13.

Due Date: Friday, June 17.

Photography Unit!

We are starting a digital photography unit in our visual art class.  We will be studying the art of photography!  To do this, we need students to bring digital cameras to school.  If you do not have a digital camera at home, don’t worry.  I am sure we will have plenty of cameras for students to work in pairs.  Students should bring them and also take them home on Day 5s.  The first day students should bring their camera is Friday, May 13. 

Thanks in advance for your help!  We will ensure that the cameras are well taken care of and used only for our art class.  You can check The Chalkboard for student work!  I’m really looking forward to the exciting learning opportunities in this unit!  If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
