The last project this year, I decided that since it's the end of the school year, I thought it would be a good idea to get Brooklynn with the teachers. It's a simple project, but it seemed like a nice idea because we won't see the teachers again until next school year.
For this project, we had to recreate 5 paintings, take ten magazine-appropriate photos, and edit one photo as if it were a magazine cover. This project was kind of rough to do because I couldn't find enough good painting portraits to recreate and it was hard to get my subjects to pose. I also didn't have a lot of subjects to take photos of, so I took photos of my turkeys, Betsy & Bonnie.
We used the same equipment as we did for the lighting practice: lightbulb, umbrella, tripods, curtains, and a camera. It was pretty easy to get all of the pictures. It was also easy to pose my subjects. So this project was easy and really fun to do.
We used a lightbulb, umbrella, tripods, curtains, and a camera for this project. It was easy to get the shadow to change because you just have to move the lightbulb and umbrella. Plus it helps to have Steve as a great model.
For this project, we had to find things that contrasted with each other. We had to find color and subject contrast. I had an easier time finding subject contrast than color contrast. This project was a lot of fun and easy.
In this project, we learned about leading lines and how they can help the viewer know exactly what the subject is. I had a lot of fun with this project. I thought it would be hard finding lines, but it wasn't at all. The only hard part was making sure there was nothing else around the subject or the lines that would catch the viewers eye.
This project was about how different angles can help you interpret photos differently. If the photo is taken from below, it can make the subject look bigger. If the photo is taken from above, it can make the subject look small. I had a lot with this project. My favorite part was making the subjects pose in different ways. I also liked standing on things to make the subject look small or laying on the ground which made the subject look bigger.
This project shows how cropping an image just a little bit can help the subject become more clear who or what it is. The rule of thirds is when the subject is not directly in the center and it's off to a corner. The golden ratio is when there are lines in a circle leading you to the subject. Finding a golden ratio was hard to do, but rule of thirds was easy because you can just crop it.
In this project, we learned about the settings of a camera. It was easy for me to learn it because last year I took a class where we learned about it already. I remembered most of it, so that was good. Also I don't know why that photo of the cat is on there, but that wasn't my original.
