Line A. This photo is of the 10 yard line on the football field in RBV's stadium. B. The principle demonstrated in this is line. The line guides the viewers eye. C. The photograph successfully demonstrates line is like I wrote above, the line guides the viewer's eye with a large depth of field. Color A. This photo is of my favorite mural on RBV's campus, it is a formation/allusion to Picasso's "Guernica" B. The principle within this photo is quite obvious, it is color. The red hue is the first thing the viewer notices C. This photo is successful because I focused on a monochromatic aspect of color. Shape A. This picture is of an ordinary tree on campus. B. The principle of shape is displayed in this photo, the viewer can see the formed circles in the tree. C. This photo is successful because I wanted to take a picture of something not geometric, since that is more typical to see. Form A. This photo is of a nice, peaceful grass area on campus. B. The photo displays form in its depth and height. The viewer can see the tree is cut off, which shows height, and the viewer can see what is behind the tree. C. It is successful because the sun highlights the beautiful shadow of the tree. Texture A. The photo is of a dandelion I spotted. B. The element of texture is shown with the flower being the focal point, with the back blurred out. C. The photo is successful because the flow is intensely focused. Space A. This photo is of my photo partner Tony, sitting in the hallways. B. The element of space is shown in this photo, specifically negative space to have the space surround Tony. C. This photo is successful because it captures the element of space and the aesthetic purposes in negative space. Value A. This photo is of a random chair I wanted to snap a picture of.
B. The element of value is shown through the darkness of the shadow and the lightness the sun shines on the chair C. This photo is successful because it captures the idea of value with lightness, darkness, and shading

Elements of Art
Line
http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/269461 In this photograph, line is displayed through railroad tracks. Stieglitz was able to vertically lead the audience's eyes to the focal point, the train on the tracks. By using the vertical railroad tracks, the photographer was able to successfully lead the viewer to see the train, swallowed by the smoke and gloom. Color
http://www.sandyskoglund.com/pages/imagelist/imagelist%20home.html In this image, Sandy Skoglund is able to display the element of color through contrasting the dark colors from the dogs coats of hair to the red hue. The different blacks and browns of the dogs, the ocean, the sky makes it to be monochromatic showing the alternate contrast of everything in the picture to the red. Shape
http://www.moma.org/collection/works/84043?locale=en This photo portrays inorganic shapes, the tower has different diagonal lines and shapes that are seen from the high bird's eye view. Form

http://www.kellymoncure.com/#!/page/391510/pets This photo depicts a picture with texture because it's so clear, we can imagine vividly what the dog's hair would feel like to pet he/she. Space
http://theartofphotography.tv/photographers/koudelka/ In this photo, Koudelka uses negative space. The space is around the primary object which is the older man. Value

http://kottke.org/tag/Annie%20Leibovitz This photo depicts balance because if we were to split the photo vertically in half, the model would evenly be shown in both pictures. Proportion

http://www.panopticongallery.com/artist/wegman/#William_Wegman_32.jpg The photography incorporates his own interests (his dog) to achieve the contrasting elements like; a puppy dressed up in human clothes. Unity
http://www.maryellenmark.com/books/titles/falkland_road/index001_falkrd.html
Unity is shown here through dark tones of people, the ground, and the wall. By connecting the color of the people with the color of their surroundings, unity is displayed with the unifying color play between elements. 1. I set my camera on "Shutter Priority", with a shutter speed of 1600.
2. The only difficulty I can think of was capturing the action, whether I took the picture too fast or too slow. The way I corrected it was just taking a lot of pictures at once, with one of those several capturing the motion. 3. Top three things:
When we were assigned this project, the first thing I did was look up the exact definition of self-respect. The definition is: “pride and confidence in oneself; a feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity”. I had difficulty with thinking of ideas to convey this definition through a photo. Once I took my pictures, I made my vision a reality. I did all my editing through Adobe photo shop. It was a matter of trial and error, since it was my first time using adobe photo shop.
I had my model, Tony, do three poses for me. Two profile shots and a center shot of him jumping with joy in the air. I had him to do this so that I could create my vision of showing the idea, “enjoy your happiness”. The two clones looking up to himself jumping in the air, symbolize his inner feelings towards himself. The center Tony, clearly looks happy, expressing his happiness freely. My intention and purpose of the photo is to convey that being confident in oneself is a good thing, and nothing to be ashamed of. 1. I took these pictures in a pretty much pitch black room. The camera was secured on the tripod, set in manual mode with manual focus. With the light painting, all I had my partner do was to make designs with the light once I said "go". My partner used glow sticks and the app called "mil light paint" to create the light paint.
2. The struggle I had was getting my partner to be seen in the background of the photo. With most of them, the design made with the light is seen, but with nothing else seen, just pitch black. 3. The three most important things with light painting:
4. When pictures were being taken of me, I kept trying to write out my name. SO that would be the idea I'd want to capture if I were to try again. |
