Space and Perspective
Students will take their own photograph of a subject of their choice. The photo composition should focus on using a different vantage point and show space. It's important that the composition have a definitive foreground and background, and displays space and perspective. Students will need to be creative in the set up of the composition and avoid typical points of view - straight on, profile, etc. Consider bird's eye and worm's eye views, as well as foreshortening. You may choose your medium: tempera paint, pencil, or color pencil. |
