Compositions & Techniques

Artist Statement:

The subject of these photographs are the composition rules and techniques in photography. To create these photos I went outside of my school and took photos of each of the rules. 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. The meaning behind this artwork is really see the beauty in everything, even if its just a street sign it can become a beautiful work of art. This project relates to my life because ever since I was younger I would always love to go outside and take lots of pictures. If I could change anything about these photographs I would use some new pictures for some of the techniques because I repeated some of the images.
