Project 3
Your First Photo Shoot: Photo Scavenger Hunt
Directions: For your first photo shoot, you will be going on a scavenger hunt. You will need to find interesting examples of the items listed below. Keep in mind the rules of composition that you learned in the powerpoints we looked at in class. These items chosen are meant to build your skills of seeing (actually looking) things in your surroundings more carefully as well as to develop your artistic senses. These items also contain various elements & principles of design in order for you to be aware of how these fundamentals work within a composition.
Shoot as many examples as you like. Pick two of your best shots for each word and place them on a slide in powerpoint. Also, save them in a folder on your google drive labelled Scavenger Hunt. Label each photo according to the list item. Ex. “Line1.jpg”
1. A line - curvy, wavy, straight, diagonal…. Your choice
2. Contrast - in colour, in texture, in size, in shape, in style, in point of view… your choice
3. Beauty - what that looks like is up to you
4. An ants view of the world - looking at the world from down low or very small
5. Shape - look for natural, organic, or accidental shapes-circle, square, rectangle, triangle, etc. your choice.
6. Form - anything that is 3 dimensional - it has length height, & width. It exists in the “round”
7. Something that represents you - Anything, really think about how you could do this visually
8. Texture - soft, smooth, rough, crusty, bumpy, sharp…
9. A symbol - Something you can look at & understand visually - without words you understand its meaning
10. The rule of Thirds - find or create strong examples
11. Extra Credit - Focal Point Dead Center - keep in mind it must be mirror image to work appropriately
