7th Gr. Photography

See more student photographs below!



1. Composition
Composition involves bringing all your drawing skills together and decided where to place things in your artwork.  To practice this, students brought in an object to photograph.  They learned about the Rule of Thirds, Balance (Symmetry and Asymmetry), Lighting, and Point of view and how they can be used to take a good photograph.  Students then created a grid on the printed photo and on a piece of drawing paper and drew their photograph.

Balance
The Rule of Thirds

If you place your point of interest where these lines intersect (the green dots) your image will be more pleasing to the eye and create a better point of interest for the viewer.






2. Point of View


Air Jordan!

Save the city!!


3. The Background
Basketball player through and through!

A plain background helps the object become the main focus


4. Lighting
