due: friday, 9/24 (25 points)

total 7 edited images; qr code to drive folder with all of your unedited images

Now that you have learned each of the 7 elements of art and HOW they apply to photography, you will go out and practice photographing all 7 elements. The focus of this photoshoot is to learn how to SEE the elements within your view finder. I WOULD SUGGEST USING AN EGG AS YOUR SUBJECT however, if you do not have access you may choose a different subject. If you cannot use an egg, you can choose to photograph a pet, a plant, an egg, a video game controller but your subject must remain the SAME IN ALL 7 IMAGES. In this photoshoot you will be focusing on how to frame your subject with the elements of art in mind.

Mini Project: Paper Manipulations

In class use the two printed images in whatever way you can think of to “liberate” our photographs from the flatness of our medium. In photo 1 we studied how to capture the realism of the world with in our photographs using light and composition. In this project series I am asking you to step outside of your comfort zone to explore the world of dada and surrealism. Read through the series description by Carlo Muttoni
