Balance: This photo was taken of some books stacked up in the library. The principle of balance is present in this photograph, because the books are stacked unevenly. This photo was successful, because it gives a good example of proportion. Proportion: This photograph was taken of a bookshelf in the RBV library. The principle of proportion can be found in this photo because the angle which I took the photo make the bookshelf look very tall. This photograph was successful, because I used a different angle to help portray the height of the shelf. Rhythm: This photograph was taken of Kimberly running down a hallways. The element of rhythm is present in this photo, because she is in motion. This photograph was successful, because it captured a really cool looking photo of her running. Emphasis: This photograph is one of the columns at RBV that someone decided to decorate. The principle emphasis is present in this photo, because your eyes are immediately drawn to the blues and greens of the the flowers and vines someone drew. This photograph is successful because yes it does show the principle of emphasis, but it also shows you an example of a small way our school is beautiful. Harmony: This photo was taken in the quad over by the gym. The element harmony can be found in this photograph because of how peaceful and calming it is. This photograph was successful, because it really captured the image of harmony, plus it doesn't look like it was taken at a school. Variety: This photo was taken in the library of the things sitting on top of the shelves. This photograph captures the principle of variety, because it includes a variety of different objects. This image was successful, because it shows variety in a fun way. Unity:
This photograph was taken of one of the murals painted at RBV. The principle unity is present in this photo, because t provides a bunch of different elements, but it looks good together because they are all in the same color scheme. This photo was successful, because it shows you a great example of unity within our school. Line: This photo was taken in the student parking lot at Rancho. The photograph is of the lines of the parking spaces which is where the element of line takes place. This photo was successful, because it clearly demonstrates the element of line. Color: This photo was taken with the camera facing upward at the base of the tree. The element color is within the leaves of the tree, there are many different shades of green and your eyes are drawn towards the color. This photo was successful, because it gives a good example of color within the tree. Shape: This photo was take walking through the halls of Rancho. It is a photo of the different shapes that appear on the ceiling of this hallway. This photograph was successful, because it captures the image of shape in an unlikely place. Form: This photo was taken at the patch of all the different obstacles they have. The element of form shows up in this photo throughout the equipment on the patch because of all the different shapes, height, and width of each object. This photo was successful, because it gives a variety of examples of form. Texture: This photo was taken of leaves at one of the planters. The element of texture appears throughout all the different ways the leaves are set up or placed. This photograph was successful, because of how much texture can be seen throughout it. Space: This photo was taken in the rancho student parking lot of a cone in the middle of the road. The element of space can be seen in this photo from the cone sitting in the middle of the picture all alone. This photograph was successful, because it gives an example of space in a place you wouldn't expect. Value:
This photograph was taken of a flower at one of the planters. The element of value can be seen in this photo from the colors of the flower and the leaves, because the over exposure of this photo affects the color. This photo was successful, because it gave a different example of value. 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.
We changed the camera to be in shutter priority by turning the knob at the top to S and then using the dial to change the shutter speed. Depending on whether you are using a larger or smaller shutter speed, your image will come out blurry and bright or focused. A smaller shutter speed means the camera will take longer to take the photo and a larger shutter speed does the opposite. You want to use shutter speed priority when taking photos of something in motion. Shutter priority will help capture a clear image of the subject in motion.
Notes from class: -both technical and aesthetic choice a photographer needs to make before releasing the shutter -the shutter inside your camera controls the duration of time the sensor is exposed -capturing blur or motion in your photograph can emphasize movement and add drama -fast shutter speed is utilized to freeze the movement of a subject -slow shutter speed used to show motion and visualize movement -shutter speeds are expressed as seconds or fractions of seconds -to prevent unintentional camera shake you should avoid handholding your digital cameras at a shutter speed slower than ½ x focal length -using a tripod can eliminate camera shake when using slower shutter speeds -visual blur and suggestion of movement occurs because the subject is moving against a static background -layering motion of different subjects moving different directions at different speeds can set up interesting dynamics within a photograph -fast shutter speed can make normal subjects appears to freeze in the air -when photographing people running relatively close to the camera a shutter speed of 1/1000 second or faster should freeze most motion -the distance the camera is from the subject, the speed of the subject, and the focal length of the lens will affect whether the subject is sharp or blurred -slower shutter speeds can help convey the idea of motion and movement -slow shutter speeds combined with panning can help isolate the subject from a busy and distracting background -a tripod combined with a long exposure can capture the fireworks’ trails. 2 seconds at f/6.3 is good for fireworks -water movement can be emphasized with long exposures Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre invented the daguerreotype in 1839. A Daguerreotype is the first ever commercially successful photograph process; each image is produced on a silvered copper plate. You must use silver, iodine, light, and UV to produce the photograph. Some equipment needed to make a Daguerreotype are a box for treatment with mercury vapor, a tripod, boxes for fuming with iodine and bromine, a soft buckskin pad used for buffing the plates, and some silvered copper plates. John Herschal invented the Cyanotype in 1842. Cyanotypes are made with Potassium Ferricyanide and Ferric Ammonium Citrate. To create a cyanotype, you start by brushing a thin layer of emulation ONLY on the top of the paper and wait for it to dry, next you arrange your artwork onto the paper and take it outside to sit in the sun for 6-12 minutes, after that you fix/rinse your paper in water until you get all the yellow out, and lastly you fix it by rinsing it in water with hydrogen peroxide.
Adventure Awaits One day a dog and bird were playing in the park just as they did every Sunday. Their day consisted of running around, playing catch, and making memories they will never forget. During one of their games of catch, the bird threw the ball a little too far. They both went searching for the ball, but instead came across something that looked like a map. The Journey Begins They made the decision to follow the map into the forest to see if maybe it would lead them to treasure. The journey was long and it took them several hours, but they continued walking in search of their prize. X Marks the Spot After several hours they finally reached the treasure and x marked the spot. They were both extremely excited to see that their long journey into the forest actually did pay off. Their treasure consisted of many coins which they were already planning on spending as soon as they got back to the park. The Great Escape Just as they began to collect their prize, they started hearing noises behind the bushes. All of a sudden an angry monster appeared who wanted his treasure back, but the animals refused to give it to him. The monster was now furious and began chasing the animals through the forest. The dog and bird finally emerged into the park and escaped the monster keeping the treasure and making an extreme memory they will never forget.
