This homework is to take photos in response to the compositional guidelines we will be looking at in our lessons over the next two weeks – it is up to your when you take your photos, but you might like to go away after each of our lessons and take a few photos of what we have been exploring that day to ensure that each compositional element is still fresh in your mind.
Rule of thirds
Leading lines
Dramatic angles
The task: Green (grade 1/2) - Take two of your own photographic example for each of the following Compositional Guidelines: - Rule of Thirds - Leading Lines - Dramatic Angles
Try to be creative in your response, but you might just use one room in your house or your garden to take the photos in. You will have 6 photographs, so try to take two extra photographs for which ever compositional guideline you like the most so that you will have 8 photos to upload.
Amber (grade 3/4) - Take a set of 3 photos for each compositional guideline and try to show different aspects of each guideline (e.g. geometric and organic lines for Leading Lines) - use the research from our lessons in school to help you to create some imaginative compositions.
Red (grades 5+) - Take a set of 3+ photos for each compositional guideline and show different aspects of each guideline (e.g. geometric and organic lines for Leading Lines) - use the research from our lessons in school to help you to create some imaginative compositions.
Remember - you must make your photos available to you while you are at school by the date your homework is due (in two weeks time).
Taking your photos on your phone is fine but you need to ensure that you do one of the following: -Upload your photos to your Google Drive -Email them to your school email account -Bring them in on a USB stick or memory card -Bring a lightening (or other relevant) cable to school with you so that you can plug your phone into the Macs You will be storing all of your photographs in your Google Drive - ones which you take at school and ones which you take at home - so I would recommend that you upload them straight into your Drive to save yourself time in our lessons.
