Line: Line is a one dimensional photograph that varies in width, direction, and/or length. It can define edges of a form, can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight, or curved, thick or thin, and lines lead your eye around the composition. Color: Color consists of 3 main characteristics; hue(color), value(how dark or light), intensity(dark or bright) and the photo is either warm or cool. The colors can be either monochromatic, one color plus its tints(adding white) and shades (adding black), have complementary colors, colors opposite each other on the color wheel, or have analogous colors, colors next to each other on the color wheel. Shape: Shape is 2 dimensional with a height and width. Organic shape is made by nature and not completely defined. Inorganic shape is manmade, such as triangles and rectangles. Form: Form is 3 dimensional and has height, width, and depth. You can emphasize form by use of highlights and shadows. Texture: Texture is the surface quality of an object that we sense through touch; all objects have a physical texture. In a two dimensional work, texture gives a visual sense of how an object depicted would feel in real life if touched. Space: Real space is 3 dimensional; space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or 3 dimensions. Space can also refer to an artist’s use of the area around the picture plane. Positive space is the space occupied by the primary object and negative space is the space around the primary object Value: Value is the lightness or darkness of a surface. It is frequently used when talking about shading, but also important in the study of color. Balance: Balance is how an artist uses opposing forces in a composition that results in visual stability. Most successful compositions achieve balance in one of 2 ways; symmetrically(same on both sides) or asymmetrical. Proportion: Proportion relates to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design, specifically the relationship between the objects. Rhythm: Rhythm indicates movement by the repetition of elements and can make an artwork seem active. Emphasis: Emphasis makes one part of the artwork dominant over the other parts. It attracts the viewer’s eyes to a place of special importance in an artwork. Harmony: Harmony is a pleasing quality achieved by different elements of a composition interacting to form a whole, it is often accomplished through repetition of the same or similar characteristics. Variety: Variety is differences achieved by opposing, contrasting, changing, elaborating, or diversifying elements in a composition to add individualism and interest. Unity:
Unity is the result of bringing elements of art into the appropriate ratio between harmony and variety to achieve a sense of oneness, it is the sense that everything works together and looks like it fits. The photo I have taken shows a boy sitting on the stairs seeming upset; there is a hand reaching out to help him up. This photograph tells a story everyone is able to relate to throughout their life. At some point in your life you have felt down, sad, overwhelmed, and like your whole world may be crumbling down and all you can do is sit there and watch. That is what this boy is going through. You are left wondering what he may be dealing with. Then you have the “helpful hand” who is there to help the boy with whatever he may be dealing with.
To respect yourself sometimes means to help other people, therefore you are making yourself a better person. You may believe that having self respect has to do with being kind to yourself, which in most cases it does, but I also see it as a chance to make yourself feel good by making a difference in someone’s life. I chose to make the arm the only colored part of this photo because it ties into what I am trying to say. This red arm is sort of like the “helpful hand” in this boy’s life, which will respect themselves by helping someone else. I took these photographs using a shutter speed of 1/750, an ISO of 1600, and the aperture varied throughout the photos. One struggle we had while taking these photos was that using a shutter speed of 1/1000 made the photos come out too dark so we changed the shutter speed to 1/750 whited helped fix the issue. Three things I learned about fast shutter speed is that your photos may come out too light or too dark which can be fixed by changing the shutter speed, you need to make sure you are focused while taking the photo or else it can come out extremely blurry, and having a fast shutter speed can help you capture moments very quickly. Other things you could use fast shutter speed for could be a person running or a car driving, anything where the subject of the photo will be in motion.
To take these light painting photos we darkened the room and set up tripods for our cameras. One partner will be taking the photos while the other moves around glow sticks or an app on your phone to make different designs for the photos. My partner and I used glow sticks and an app called MyLightPaint to achieve the designs in the photos above. One struggle I had with light painting was keeping the photo in focus; I found that a lot of photos were coming out blurry. 3 thing that I learned from light painting are that in order for the designs to show up you need to have a longer stutter speed, focusing on your partner before you take the photo will help make the photo come out less blurry, and make sure your tripod is steady while taking each photo. An idea you could do with light painting would be spelling out words; we tried spelling out our names but it was a lot harder than it seemed.
