Take 30 photographs that convey the things that you find beautiful. These photographs should be more than just a catalogue or record of items or things you find beautiful. Try to take photographs that show the viewer through your eyes how you see things. Try to evoke that same feeling out of the viewer that you have. The photographs should be:
1. all taken during this class(not before).
2. an attempt at beauty–not last minute junk. Last minute junk is usually someone taking photographs the day it is due as a way to receive some grade.
3. not snapshots.
4. all pictures taken by yourself. If other people shoot the photographs then it is not your work.
5. different. There shouldn’t be the exact same shot with one picture being color and the other being black and white.
6. not using effects.
7. properly rotated.

This is the flyer for her senior show:
Use the elements and principles of art as your main idea for taking the photographs.
1. Choose 2-4 elements or principles of art from this list at this link:
http://pagodaproductions.com/art/?p=21
2. Take 100 photographs total only using no more than 2-4 elements or principles of art total as the primary focus in the composition. Upload these 100 photographs on flickr or coppermine.
3. Of these 100 photographs choose 3-10 photographs as your best works and label them accordingly. Instead, these works can be put into a folder on flickr or coppermine named “Elements and Principles Best Work” or “E & P Best Work”.
4. (Optional) The 3-10 best works may be edited on the computer, however, I do want the original photograph(s) available for comparison.
Take 30 photographs total dealing with different types of light. Of these 30 photographs there must be photographs showing:
3 diffuse(soft) light
3 direct(hard) light
3 directional
Within the 30 photographs you must show natural, artificial, and a combination of natural and artificial lighting.
1. Go to this link
2. Do this project to learn how to use GIMP to photomanipulate.
1. Find 2 good example of photographys that represent each of the elements and principles listed:
Element:
1. Line
2. Shape
3. Value
4. Space
5. Color
6.Texture
Principles:
7. Emphasis
8. Balance
9. Movement/Rhythm
10. Proportion
11. Contrast
12. Pattern/Repetition
2. E-mail me either a flickr category with these photographs or e-mail me url’s to each of these images. The images should be appropriately labeled.
1. Visit one of the student flickr websites posted on this website under Photography Student Websites.
2. Comment on a students artwork. Use proper terminology(exposure, elements and principles of art, etc…) to constructively criticise their work. Do not just say, “I love this picture.” Explain!
3. You must comment on at least 2 different students work. E-mail me the url to the pictures you critiqued.
1. Use an e-mail account that can be accessed at school and e-mail me at: teach@pagodaproductions.com
If you do not have an account, that can be accessed at school then go here. All students have CHS e-mail accounts that can be used.
2. You will set up a Flickr account and e-mail me your Flickr website.
3. Read this article on the difference between a snapshot and a well thought out photograph.
3. Look for 10 images that you like that are not snapshots. Save them on your U: Drive or add them to your favorites on Flickr.
4. Upload those 10 images to a category called 10 Images Assignment or 10 Favorites
1. Go to this website.
2. Instead of finding magazines pictures we will use images from flickr’s website. Find 2 images for each of the 7 categories of the “magazine” project.
3. E-mail me either an url to the flickr category called Magazine Assignment or e-mail me url’s to each of these images. The images should be appropriately labeled.
note: Another thirds is not necessary to do. You only have to use one of the rule of thirds.
