MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

Slideshow

Scale and proportion in art are both concerned with size. Scale refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole).

texture is the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or a substance

You will make 2 slide presentations in Google slides using the macro photos you have taken and other images you have found online (or have taken yourself)

· 1 slide presentation with a total of 20 macro photos (solo project)

(lastname_firstname_per_macro_slideshow1)

· 1 slide presentation with a total of 14 slides created by you and your partner using a combination of:

1. macro photo

2. another image

3. word text in each slide (2 words)

SLIDESHOW 2: STEPS

1. Open Google slides. Make a file, named as above. Make sure sharing is on in your file so your partner can edit.

2. Look at each image. From your photos, choose 7.

3. Using your first image, make sure your image has a horizontal orientation. (crop in Photoshop, 4x3 crop preset). Save as _crop

4. In Google slides click on Background>Image>choose. Insert background image will open. Drag your image to the workspace. Modify as needed.

5. Using texture to find words to describe the object in your photo. Look at the list of texture words, identify 3 per image that can be used to describe your image, and write them down on your Macro photo worksheet.

6. What else does the image remind you of? You will do a Google image search for an appropriate image. The second set of images you choose should be a large scale version image related to your first image somehow. Note: your ideas can be realistic or non-realistic. They may incorporate science fiction, fantasy, humor etc: (macro) close-up skin can look like the skin of a (large scale) dinosaur, or Godzilla. macro: Abraham Lincoln’s profile on a penny, large scale : statue of liberty )

7. Using your narrowed-down word list, enter the texture, descriptive word plus another meaningful word with an appropriate font color, size and type in your slide.

8. For your second slide, click on Slide>new slide and continue steps for one more slide. Repeat 12 more times until you have a slide display project of 14 slides between you and your partner.

Remember:

USE ANIMATIONS AND TRANSITIONS in your SLIDES and TEXT to make the slideshow an interesting, TIME-BASED presentation
