Assignments October 23-26

  • Photo a Day Challenge – Due each day this week continue from last week

Take a photo a day, in order, from the list below. Each day you will post your photo from that day. Call your blog post Photo Challenge, and then title your photos the words that are in bold below. This project will be for this week, Monday through Thursday.

Monday – Self portrait. Where are you in your life? How is the you of today different than the person you were a decade ago? A year ago? yesterday? We’re always changing, so take some time to show us this particular chapter of your life.

Tuesday – Create a different world. Be inspired by a book, a movie, a place, or a period in time. Choose a familiar narrative to use as a starting point, then re-interpret it to tell a story that is all your own.

Wednesday – A picture is worth 1,000 words. But can you describe just one word with a picture? Choose a word then create a photo that matches it.

Thursday – What are you thankful for? But don’t get too cozy. To be truly thankful, you require the proper perspective. For this photograph, play with different perspectives. As you capture those items for which you’re most grateful can you do so with unique angles? How high or low can you shoot? What sort of framing can you play with? Could you add reflections? Play around and get creative.

  • Framing a subject due Thursday before class is over

-Take 3 different photographs using framing in the composition.  Title your blog post “Framing a Subject.” Put it in a gallery 3×1 with titles for each photo and then answer the questions below the gallery. Below are examples.

Critique your own photographs you posted and answer these questions honestly and in complete sentences for each photo.

  1. Do I have a strong composition?
  2. How well did I edit my photograph?
  3. What would I do differently if I shot this assignment again?
  4. Do I think my photograph belongs on the blog home page and should be considered one of the best from all the photo classes?
