Due: At least 5 alphabet letters are due in addition to letters photographed in class. Please refer to guidelines below.
Assignment: “ABCs”
Photographing
Each student will turn in a composition containing 26 images. Each image will have a letter from the alphabet. Each letter needs to be found, not created.
The letters need to be objects that were not originally intended to be letters. The letters need to be clear, in focus, juxtaposed against an uncluttered background.
Photoshop
Your document size should be 8.5x11 (Resolution/dpi @300).
You will need to resize each of the 26 images to be placed in your document; make sure you plan this out ahead of time, so they all fit and you won’t need to start again.

Assignment-Self Portrait
self–por·trait noun \-ˈpȯr-trət, -ˌtrāt\
: a portrait of oneself done by oneself
Your goal is to take many creative and interesting portraits of yourself. With the traditional self-portrait, you simply take a picture of yourself and show who you are and something about your life. I recommend using the timer on your camera. I would also like to see you experiment with using mirrors and other reflective surfaces. Please refer to “The Self-Portrait” handout for details.
You must take at least 10 photographs of yourself. You will turn in your BEST shot (not just a snapshot). Pay attention to composition, color, contrast, lighting, etc…
- Your photo must fit on an 8.5” x 11” page either vertical or horizontal, sized to 300 dpi saved as a jpg file (large size). It does not have to be 8.5” x 11”, just sized to fit on the page.
- Save your work with your LAST NAME, FIRST NAME- Self Portrait

Assignment: Framing
Your goal is to take many creative and interesting photos using “FRAMING” compositional technique. Most kinds of photography benefit from building a visual frame around the subject. Frame your main subject by using doorways, windows, arches, and the space between buildings, or the enveloping branches of trees as a pseudo border. Often, you can frame a subject so that it appears alone in the frame; however, if you include further elements, these should complement the main subject, adding to the detail of the story, rather than competing for our attention.
Remember! You must photograph for the assignment, no old photos. Please refer to “How to Take Great Digital Photos” handout.
You must take at least 5 different images and save them in your Google Drive. You will edit and save your work in class. You will turn in your best shot.
Please save the image with your LAST NAME, FIRST NAME-FRAMING.
Have FUN!

Assignment Elements of Art “Line”
In photography, a line is one of the most fundamental art elements. Line can serve as pathways through your pictures or as dividers and boundaries within your composition to separate different areas of your photographs.
Find as many different types of lines as possible, photograph them, and then categorize them as straight, curved, horizontal, vertical, or combination.
You will get credit (participation points) for your photos from each category.
IMPORTANT!!!!! Please upload your images into your
Google Drive before coming to class.
