Goal: Continue to practice the skills you have with resources available to you (camera or phone). Use imagination to plan and capture creative images. Product goal: Develop a creative portfolio of work Instructions: There are two on-going assignment opportunities – the second gives you a head start on the final photo project. There are also mini challenges available to complete each week (recommend 1 per week). Save work to your USB in a folder called Distance Learning. As always, I recommend creating a back-up of work in another location (eg. OneDrive) Ongoing assignment: Cell phone photography hacks – create a portfolio Mini photo challenges: (1 per week) |

Abstraction of the everyday...
Task one
Your task for this project is capture abstract images of the everyday. These could be things around your home, in your backyard etc. The idea is that you try to capture them in unique ways. The most important factors to consider are the lighting and angle. For this task you need to take 10 images of these everyday objects (each image must be a different object), then you need to Photoshop them. Save as a PSD, then a JPEG. If you have forgotten how to edit in Photoshop, watch some youtube tutorials on basic editing techniques. Submit your 10 JPEGS to compass under the ‘Abstraction of the everyday’ learning task.
Task two
Once you have finished editing your images, answer the following questions below on a word document and submit on compass.
-What art elements and principles did you explore while capturing these images?
-What problems did you have while completing this unit of work and how did you resolve them?
-What did you do well and what could you have improved?
