=Welcome to the Student activities page!=

Welcome to the student activities page! See below for daily assignments.

**---> Start here!**
Carefully examine each photo and take into consideration each element of art and definition written beneath the photo. Answer the questions below each photo on a sheet of paper.

Color: refers to specific hues and has 3 properties, Chroma, Intensity and Value. The color wheel is a way of showing the chromatic scale in a circle using all the colors made with the primary triad. Complimentary pairs can produce dull and neutral color. Black and white can be added to produce tints (add white), shades (add black) and tones (add gray)

What colors do you see in this picture?  How are they placed on the page? What is this a picture of? ==

**Line -**  is a mark on a surface that describes a shape or outline. It can create texture and can be thick and thin. Types of line can include actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal and contour lines. Things to consider: What is your eye drawn to first? Why? Does the background matter in this picture?

**Shape/Space -** is a 2-dimensional line with no form or thickness. Shapes are flat and can be grouped into two categories, geometric and organic. What is more interesting, the background or foreground? Would the background be as interesting of there was not a flat figure in front of it? <span style="display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"><span class="body_text" style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none;">What shapes do you see in the photo?

Now that you have been introduced to the five elements of art, today is a good day to start becoming familiar with your camera. Make sure it is digital and can be plugged into a computer, as we will be using photoshop later this week. (If you do not have a digital camera, you can go to the store and buy a box camera for $5-$10 dollars, then when you get your photos developed just ask to have them put on a disk.) On the same Word Document you answered the questions about the above photographs on, find the answers to the following questions on these websites about your camera: <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; url(http: //www.wikispaces.com/i/a.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; padding-right: 10px;">[] []

What is shutter speed? What is ISO? What is Aperture?

Name assignment: Yourname_Day1 and submit to me by 10/10/10 at 11:30 pm

Day 2: Find examples of the five elements in someone else's Photographs.


Today's assignment is similar to yesterdays, except that today YOU will be finding your own example photographs for EACH ELEMENT of art. You will need to turn in ONE professional photo from a website or magazine that adequately demonstrates the five elements of art. Color Line Shape Texture Form Be sure to label each of the five photos with the element it is representing in this project. Label the back of each photo as Yourname-Element the photo represents. Below are some links with great photos of all different kinds of things. You are also welcome to use images cut out of a magazine. Good magazines to look for include: Any fashion magazine, National Geographic, travel magazines.

Photo Links:

[] -I suggest EVERYONE try and take a look at these photos. They're simply amazing.

[] ---Great if you like fashion photography

[] This site has a few Older Photos, but they have great historical value

[] Believe it or not, some of the coolest photos come from Nasa. This is a great site that organizes them by subject matter.

=Day 3: Now it's your turn! Photograph day!=



Today it's your turn! Go out and find your own examples of the five elements of art and take pictures!! Just as a reminder, these are the five elements. I suggest you write them down and carry them with you while you take pictures so that you have a reference and can cross them off the list as you get adequate photos of each.

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Color <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Line <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Shape <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Texture <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Form

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> If you get stuck on one of them and cannot find an example you like, try some of these tips:
 * Zoom in! Changing the perspective of how close you are to an object can make the elements pop out.
 * Don't be afraid to lay down, or stand on a chair to get a better angle of the subject.
 * Take your time looking through the viewfinder of your camera. Look all around the view finder to make sure everything is placed where you want it to be.
 * Simple is best. Don't try to be to technical, it only needs to represent ONE of the five elements.

When you are done, you should have 5 photos- ONE for each of the FIVE elements. Just like yesterday, label each photo with your name and the element it represents.

Happy Shooting!

=Day 4: Photoshop=

Today is all about highlighting the five elements we've been discussing all week. Start by looking through this photoshop tutorial page. It should only take a few minutes to learn, because we are not doing anything very detailed in the program. []

Now it's time to load your five photos into photoshop.

Next, take the simple paint brush tool and go over the area's that highlight each element.

For example, if it is a photo that demonstrates lines, go over the lines in the photo with the paint brush so that they come out of the photo.

Do this for each of your five photos.

BE SURE to label your photos with the corresponding element and of course, your first and last name.

=Day 5: Finalize your project=



Today, we will be answering the same questions you answered about my photos about your own. So for each of the elements, I want you to answer these questions in a word document about your ORIGINAL photos.

Today is the final day! Now it's time to make sure that you have every element of this week's project completed. You should have a total of 17 things to turn in.
 * 5 of someone else's photos that demonstrate the elements
 * 5 of your own original photos that demonstrate the elements
 * 5 doctored originals that highlight the elements
 * 1 word document answering questions from day one
 * 1 word document answering the SAME questions from day one about your own photos.
 * EVERYTHING is due TODAY.
