3/9/2020 Weekly Theme: NarrativeNarrative photography: An idea that photographs can be used to tell a story.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN 1st: Don't shoot in black and white without doing your research first! It's not as simple as putting a filter on your images or dragging your saturation down. Read the article above if you are considering shooting in black and white. Thing about why, what will it add, and what will it take to shoot in B&W properly? 2nd: You are responsible for the story you choose to tell. Your story should be powerful, meaningful, and worth a viewers time. Consider your audience. Consider how your work may be interpreted differently than how you intend (have a few people critique your work from time to time.) If you choose to tell a story that is sensitive, approach it with caution. Some situations you may find funny, could be a serious trigger for others. Be a good human while creating great art! 3rd: This should go without saying, but you'd be surprised. Your work must be school appropriate, this includes no drugs, sex, nudity, violence or actions that suggest intolerance or hate towards a group of people. PERIOD. PORTFOLIO
Create a new section in your My Photography page. Title it Narrative Photography. You will add your images for this series here. Do not use a gallery widget, it will crop your photos. You will need to write a short artist statement, reflecting on your process and story, as well as how others interpreted your work. We will do this in small groups at the end of the week. Things to consider during this conversation should be:
2/20/2020 Weekly Theme: MovementThis coming week, your 'A Photo A Day' theme is movement. The idea is to capture something in-motion, while maintaining quality focus, or intentional blur. This may require you to think about 'peak action' moments. You could play around with Burst Mode, time lapse, or long exposures as well.
YOUR PORTFOLIO
You will create a section on your My Photography Page with a title, three images, and a text box. Please title this section "Movement" and place your three favorite images that you took, and represent this week's theme. In the text box you will write a short description of this week's prompt, including your process. You may want to discuss why you chose the angles you shot from, which textures you found the most interesting, the struggles you had to overcome to get the perfect shot, or what you learned in the process.

Design a photo series based on a color relationship.This week, you will create a color series with the photos you create for your Photo A Day. That means, all of the photos you take this week should fit into one of the color schemes listed below. You can use the links to research these, if you are not familiar with them. Choose color schemes that look good together, or you can use one color scheme for all of your photos. We will use Lightroom to help adjust the colors in your photos. One of your color themed photos will be submitted to our weekly Photo Challenge at the end of the week. We will vote on our favorites on Mon/Tue, which means NO LATE submissions allowed.
