Joiners assignment

Here's a short version of the lecture related to the Joiners assignment. Remember what we discussed in the assembly exercise - make sure you have something within 5-8 feet to show scale. 

Midterm Review

A reminder that next week we will be having out midterm quiz. It is NOT a scantron or multiple question style of test. You will have questions and need to supply the answers.

Here is a link to a shortened version of my Midterm Review lecture - and you'll see the style of questions that I will be asking. Please make sure to thoroughly review this lecture and your notes.

Here's some examples of Depth of Field:

Architectural Assignment

Self Portrait in 20 frames assignment.

Here's a link to the Portraiture lecture - a short version - and some examples of past student projects. Remember that you will want to have them printed in the smaller size (3x5 approx) so they will fit onto a 16x20 board. You will need to shoot all of them either as verticals or horizontals for them to fit into a grid. The only shot of you is on the top left side.

This week's lecture and assignment covers the Elements and Principles of Design/Photography as well as asking you to go beyond your norm when it comes to thinking about how to photograph something. Here's a short copy of the lecture. 

Welcome back to school!

Welcome back to school - and to Art 80: Elements of Photography. During the semester we will be looking at, talking about and making photographs. My goal is to make this an interesting class - and I'd especially be pleased if you found a way to integrate the assignments into your life - into what's important to you. Please do not think of the assignments as being "outside" of who you are - interesting images are about telling a story - and we all have a unique viewpoint. 

Looking forward to getting to know you better. For more information on my photography, here's my website - the newest series of images is the Razor's Edge.

In case you lose it, here's a link to an online copy of our syllabus.
