Monday, April 18 - Compositional Balance in Photography
Creating a Balanced Composition
Remember that photo you took of the "Rule of Thirds"? Where the subject was off center? That is a technique artists use to create a balanced composition. Today we will discuss balance as there are several types of balance.
Terms to know:
Balance: the achievement of equilibrium among the various parts of an artwork
Composition: the organization or arrangement of the forms in a work of art
TYPES OF BALANCE
- FORMAL BALANCE happens when one half mirrors the other; symmetrical
- INFORMAL BALANCE happens when two different objects seem to have the same visual weight (via hues, values, intensities, shapes…); asymmetrical or using the rule of thirds
- RADIAL BALANCE happens when elements or objects in an art work are positioned around a central point
Your task: Create a blog post on balanced compositions. Find 2 images of each type of balance for a total of 6 images. You must have a theme for your blog post images, could be: dogs, cars, nature, love, purple... you pick! Each photo must be OBVIOUS what type of balance it is. You will receive a mark /6.

Monday April 11 - Portfolio Assignment (2)
THE BASICS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Learning Goal
HOW TO HAND IN YOUR PROJECT
Get comfortable taking pictures with a camera and
exploring different photo composition techniques.
"The best camera is the one that you have with you."
This is a common quote among photographers, especially Chase Jarvis: check out his work here. A better camera is not always available and there are important basic concepts that should be followed to get a great photograph.

Simple camera tips
- Hold the shutter button down halfway to focus your subject. Press the shutter all the way down to take a photograph. If using a smart phone, tap the screen to focus.
- Keep the camera as still as possible when taking a picture. Use a tripod when available or lean on something or set your camera down on something. This will keep the image focused.
- Don’t use flash.
- Try different camera angles, get low to the ground, hold the camera high up.
- Get in close to the subject you want to photograph. Don't zoom in!
Each person needs to take their own photographs but please go in groups of 2 or 3 to be able to use each other as models and share ideas!
You will need to take a photograph of the following:
You will need to take a photograph of the following:
1) 1 low angle = looking up at subject
2) 1 high angle = looking down at subject
3) Building or Machine
4) Landscape/Cityscape
5) Pattern = repeated shapes
6) Framed (remember seeing Sierra's example above?) = subject has a frame around it
7) Rule of thirds = subject is not in the center
8) Person or people - they must give you permission
9) Interesting shape(s) or texture(s)
10) Macro = close-up of detail
11) Reflection
12) Perspective using converging lines
2) 1 high angle = looking down at subject

Success Criteria for photos
How will I know I have taken a great photo?
How will I know I have taken a great photo?
- is it in focus
- is the lighting correct (not too dark, not too bright)
- is it obvious which photo it is, does a pattern photo look like a pattern
- is the photo interesting
- are all 10 photos included
This does not mean you take 10 photos. Take lots of photos of the same subject matter (i.e. photographing a flower - take 10 shots of that flower, experiment with angle, moving in closer, lighting, etc) You should take somewhere from 50-100 photos and then upload the best photo for each angle!!!

Media Arts Hall Pass Project
Your task: Create a hall pass to be used by all PJ Arts classes. This hall pass needs to include the words:
Pauline Johnson C.V.S.
Art Class
Hall Pass
Mrs. Potter
and a school logo (see logos below).
The design and other images are entirely up to you. A good starting point is to include things like school colours, photos of the school, PJ related images or Art related images.
YOU MUST USE AND DOCUMENT 12 TOOLS THAT YOU LEARNED IN YOUR PHOTOSHOP PRACTICE! WHEN YOU UPLOAD YOUR THREE HALL PASSES TO YOUR BLOG, INCLUDE YOUR NOTES ON WHAT TOOLS YOU USED AND HOW YOU USED THEM.
eg.
Hall Pass #1
1. Blur tool: I blended together the logo and background.
2. Magnetic Lasso Tool: I took out the writing from the logo and used only the logo itself.
etc...
*Use your phone to take some pictures and upload them to your computer as a background image!*
The top three best will be used as hall passes in the art department for the rest of this semester!
Specifics:
Make the hall pass in Adobe Photoshop with these dimensions
Width: 3 inches
Height: 5 inches
Resolution: 300 DPI (pixels per inch)
Background: Transparent
+ do not put any words in the top center as that is where a hole will go to hook the hall pass onto a lanyard.
+you need to do 3 THREE different designs, make them all different and varied.
