You will be required to submit ONE photo that accurately represents each element and principle of design. This does not mean to take only one photo for each element and principle of design. The rule of thumb is that for every 100 pics taken you usually come out with 2 or 3 good ones. I made every effort to try to teach you guys how to properly use a camera and to give opportunities for critiques. You were able to gather some information and hopefully learn how to use your camera properly through the exercises I tried to help you with. By the end of the SECOND WEEK all pics should be completed. I would advise you to bring in pictures at the beginning for me to review for quality and content. IT IS UP TO YOU TO COME TO ME.
You must be sure that:
1. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOUR CAMERA SETTINGS ARE CORRECT FOR THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION QUALITY POSSIBLE.
2. The picture taken accurately represents the element or principle and cannot be readily confused for another element or principle.
3. The pictures are CLEAR and with proper lighting. Many of your photographs are blurry, out of focus, washed out because of improper flash use, or too dark. Cheap tripods are available at Wal-mart.
4. The pictures need to be CLEAR, PRECISE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER, AND CREATIVE. Again, the goal of an artist is to show the usual in a different light and to embrace the viewer.
5. Pictures will be cropped to an 8x8 size for mounting and display.
6. You are not allowed to use photographs that are related to each other in any way. Photos are to be distinctly different in subject matter as well as CLEARLY SHOWING THE ELEMENT OR PRINCIPLE. For example, if you use fabric to show a pattern you cannot use fabric again to show line even if it is a different piece of fabric.
