A3 Comments

Overview

First, go to your Google Photos and edit your top photo for each category (e.g. Patterns, Lines, etc) with the Google Photo editor and use it to crop as a square. When finished, ask the person next to you to make comments on your 9 top photos (one for each category). If they think a different photo that you have was better than your top one, make sure they tell you honestly.

Sometimes fresh eyes and helpful feedback are needed to help someone choose good photos. Also, there will be an opportunity to take and submit new photos so comments from others will help avoid a low grade on your final project photos.

If for some reason you did not take your photographs yet, work on another CA assignment.

Directions

Ask someone in any CA class to give you honest feedback on your photos. Have them click on your Schoology Google Photo links (A3 photos, letter photography, & contest photos) and make sure they have access to the albums; have them complete the following:

Instructions for students filling out comments (comments are located at the bottom of each individual photograph):

1. A3 Photos: Look at the three photographs they submitted for each of the categories. They should put their best photo of the three first but if you think one of the other two photos is better, make that comment as this can sometimes be the case. Check their photographs for the following:
2. Composition: Every photo has to have focal point ROT or Symmetry
3. Lighting: Not too dark, not high ISO, good use of
4. Focus/Grain: focal point is in focus, photo is not grainy or low quality
5. Category: the photo clearly shows the category it represents (e.g. lines)
6. As a comment on each of their best photos for each category
7. Composition: Poor, Good ROT or Symmetry, Great ROT or Symmetry
8. Lighting: Poor, Ok, Good, Great
9. Focus/Grain: Poor, Ok, Good, Great
10. Category: Poor, Ok, Good, Great
11. (copy and paste in the comment and answer for each)
12. Composition:
13. Lighting:
14. Focus/Grain:
15. Category:
16. The photographer will not be graded based on the student's comments but the person commenting may lose points if they do not comment accurately repeatably. This applies to the other albums as well.
17. Letters: Type "yes" if you can distinguish the letter, "kind of", or "no" if you cannot tell what letter the photo illustrates.
18. Contest: Type "Yes" for one of their three photos to help them decide their best photo.

When finished, submit your square A3 photos that are approved by your classmate that you think are good enough to submit for your final project and upload those to Schoology in the order listed below. If you plan to retake some of them as they would not pass, then submit the title image (download from the folder). As a Schoology comment type the name of the student who made comments on your photos and one nice thing about that person and also include the Google Photo links you submitted in the previous checkpoint (example:Compositions, Name Letters, Contest Photos).

1. Space
1. Lines
2. Patterns
3. Framing
4. Movement
5. Lens Flare
6. Leading the Eye
7. Aperture
   1. Self Portrait

As a second separate Schoology post for the same assignment thread, upload the letters you think are approved in the order of your name and type any letters you think you will retake because it is hard to read. Finally, for a third post on the same assignment thread, post your top photo contest photo (must be horizontal, not square or vertical) and type the MB size of the photo. Remember that it has to be at least 2mb so if you crop it, it may be less than that and unusable since we are printing it A4.
