September 18th-22nd
Monday students are turning in 10 photos to Google Drive "Chroma September."  Along with these photos, students will fill out the google doc for artist statement (found on the VSAA Focus FB page).  Students will also turn in their photo journal with "What did you do, Why did you do it, and How did you do it?"

Wednesday
Boring
Each student will be assigned a boring item to photograph.  The student will work with a partner, assisting one another with their lighting and set up of the boring item.

Things to consider:
What makes something insignificant suddenly catch our eye? How do everyday items adopt new significance or gain visual interest? How can a mundane object develop in poignancy.

Your mundane object may be:
cotton balls, clear tape,  a white box, or still life props painted white
​
Lighting can include:
Natural light
Light boxes
Reflective light
Direct studio light
Indirect studio light

Lighting – how the play of light across an object may draw attention, be it the deliberate shining of a spotlight, or the timely passing of a sunbeam.
Placement – how the isolating of an object e.g. cordoning off, restricting access, framing, placing on a shelf, plinth etc. might give it greater significance.
Contrast - how an object might be in visual contrast with its environment (via color, scale, tone etc.), or be encountered out of context - experienced as an unexpected or surreal juxtaposition, in contrast with our usual expectations

September 11-15th
Respond to the following prompts in your journal:

1. Does the camera see more than the photographer?

2. Does a photographer have a responsibility for the image beyond the act of taking it?

3. Should there be a moral or an aesthetic limit to images of atrocity?

Watch the video in class and share your thoughts with a person next to you.

This week students will:
Turn in Chroma series
Finish composition presentation for Photo 1
Complete a photo challenge at school during 5th period.
​
Wednesday September 6th

Create a presentation on the elements of composition for Photo 1 students using your iPad.  You can create a video and/or use apps.  Work together as a group.
