Artist Statement:
The subject of these photographs are the composition rules and techniques in photography using a zebra figurine. To create these photos I went outside of my school and around my house and took photos of each of the composition rules and techniques. The material I used was my Canon rebel digital camera, I then edited it using the iphoto app on my macbook. I chose to take these photos because they fit within each of the rules and I really liked the colors and shapes that were created.
The elements of art that I used were color, shape, and space. The principals of design that I used were pattern, contrast, and proportion/scale. The composition rules/ techniques that I used were all of the composition rules and techniques for photography.
My project evolved because I had no set idea of what I was going to take pictures of, I only knew that I had to follow the rules provided and include the zebra. The meaning behind this artwork is to not always have to be serious about everything, something's can involve a little humor. This project relates to my life because zebras of one of my favorite animals. If I could change anything about these photographs I would use different types of editing for some of the images.
