Wow! I can't believe how quickly marking period 1 has gone by! My teaching load is a bit heavier this year, so I don't have time for as many updates on this site as I would like, but here are the highlights from Photo Design Class.
Students started the year creating art journals that they will use throughout the year. They created one-of-a-kind paper that was used for both front and back covers of the journal. Students have completed a series of journal assignments including an introduction of themselves, a study of value, and a page inspired by artist, Man Ray.
Students learned about PHOTOGRAMS. This is an image created in the darkroom using objects instead of negatives. Students gathered interesting objects to create their images. They used the enlarger in the darkroom to shine light on the photographic paper. They focused on composition and the technical aspect of the process.
Some of these PHOTOGRAMS are currently on display at the town Administration Building. Stop by to take a look!
Students also learned about the element of VALUE and created self portraits using this important art element. They started with digital photos, and then recreated the images using color pencils and limiting the image to just 4 values. The finished work is amazing and on display in the G Wing currently.
