Digital Photography 20-21 Assignments

Objective: Create a calendar that is accurate and aesthetically pleasing to look at.
How to create calendar: You may use word, excel, or any other tool you find on the computer to create a calendar. Please Google or look at a 2021 calendar so the dates are accurate! I will check this. You can make it personal, and type holidays, people’s birthdays, etc . on the dates. Choose whatever font and color you want for the months. Please make sure it is legible. If you would like to put smaller photos on the calendar part, you may do so.
You need a NEW picture for each month. Please choose a theme for your calendar. This can be personal, or one subject. Examples are, but not limited to: portraits, family, black and white, landscape, etc. Each photo should be edited, and look professional. You can also use collage tools on Ipiccy if you want more than one image on a month. Your pictures will need to be ALL vertical or ALL horizontal.
Put together—punch holes and bind using yarn, fabric, string, etc. so it is functional. You can laminate, put in clear sleeves, or mount on thicker paper for durability. You will need to provide any sleeves or paper to mount on. Hobby Lobby has a very good selection. I do have white tagboard and construction paper if you want to use that.
That is the bare minimum of what you need to do. You can also add additional photos on month part of each month. The small photo should coincide (go with) large photo.
‌
Your calendar can be personal to you (each picturing coordinating with that month) or can be themed (nature, outdoor, farm, landscape, flowers, food, etc.).
You will be graded with a rubric and will be graded on these criteria (25 pts each):
• Creativity
• Continuity (how it flows together)
• Use of background/background colors
• Clarity of photos
• Color of photos
• Correctness of calendar (correct dates, etc. Holidays placed on correct days)
• Craftsmanship/Creativity of calendar as whole (Presentation)
This project will be worth 175 pts! They are due at the END of class on Monday, and you will present them to the class on Tuesday.

Chose FIFTEEN prompts to do of your choice. You can do additional photos for extra credit. Grading will be the same as last time.

Designing a Cover
You need to design a magazine cover using Pixlr, Ipiccy, or Picmonkey.
You must have:

1. A background
2. A cover photo of your partner
3. A Title
4. Several story line titles
5. Issue date
6. Issue price
7. web site address

Your magazine cover will be graded on if you included the above elements, how you carry out Unity in your magazine cover, use of color, and photo itself.
Unity can be achieved by carrying out a common theme in the type styles, photos, story titles and descriptions. Do all the parts work together?
Think about readability, can you read the type against the background? Is the type style readable? Are the sentences too long? Are the titles descriptive enough to make you know what the article is about? Does the type size signify the importance?
Does the photo or photos support the theme? Does the photo catch your eye? Is it too busy or too simple?
How is your effort and craftsmanship? You will need to be selecting, cutting, pasting and cropping. Does your cover look professionally neat?
Layout, how did you arrange all the elements? Is the type all lined up flush left, right, centered? Is the type over the picture or a background? Did you add a banner with the issue date, web site, and cost? Does the layout make it easy to read or confusing?

The campaign should include one movie poster (like you would see up in the theaters), one billboard, and one advertisement (like you would see in a magazine, and it must be different from your poster). You must take at least three different photos.

Choose a movie you would like to make a campaign for. This could be a very old movie, or a newer movie.
Come up with your photos/designs. I want you to make a preliminary list of the pictures you would like to take, props/outfits that you would need, color schemes, slogans, etc. You may need to look at examples and research what is all included on a movie poster, billboard, and advertisement. You will be turning this into me for daily points.
Take pictures—you can have a classmate pose, or you can take these pictures outside of class time. Choose a surrounding you would like to use, or a blank wall. This could be a “green screen,” and you may put your people in surroundings or pictures that you already have, or find on the internet.
Create your poster, advertisement, and billboard. Think of what wording needs to be included, and choose correct fonts, colors, etc. Also, be thinking about composition and balance. Think about paper orientation. Should it be vertical, horizontal, etc.?

Objective: Students will create a cohesive advertisement campaign creating 4 advertisement designs. Two photos will be designed for billboards, and two photos will be designed for a magazine advertisement. This will be due Monday, at the end of class. You will be presenting these to the class.
Step 1: Choose a product that you would like to do an advertisement campaign for. Ideas are, but are not limited to: food, makeup, fragrance, clothing brand, jewelry line, pop, energy drink, etc. Please be creative with this!
Step 2: Look at examples of billboards and magazine ads online to get ideas for dos and don’ts.
Step 3: Choose an overall theme or slogan for your campaign. This could be something completely new, or you could choose a slogan that the brand has used over time (ex, McDonald’s, “I’m lovin’ it.”) You need to think of a way to cohesively unite all of the pictures, whether that be through same theme, style, color scheme, font, editing, etc. You may want to do all, or some of these things.
Step 4: Take your pictures. You may do this inside, or outside of class. IF you do it inside, I want you to set up a detailed set, and not just take pictures on a table. Think of props, people, backdrops, etc. These pictures need to be highly edited, so don’t leave everything to the last minute.
Step 5: Edit your pictures. I should easily be able to tell what pictures are for the billboard, and what pictures are for the ad. You will have to do a lot of editing, and cut out backgrounds, or add solid color, etc. The magazine ad should have more text than the billboard. Think about appropriate font, text, and color scheme for what you are trying to sell. You will have to explain your choices when you present these.
Step 6: Upload ALL FOUR pictures to Classroom. Print your top picture. You will be presenting these to the class and going over your overall theme and what you were trying to achieve.
*You will be graded on all four photos (color/clarity, composition), creativity (slogan), use of words/text (format, font, etc), overall composition, and color. This will be worth 100 points. YOU WILL RECEIVE LATE POINTS IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS! EVERYONE WILL BE PRESENTING THEIR PROJECT.

Attach the following information:

1.Business/company chosen
2. One example of a billboard they have used in the past (copy/paste a photo).
3. One example of a magazine ad they have used in the past (copy/paste a photo).
4. What slogan you will be using/focusing on for your project.
5. What color scheme you will be using.
6. Subject matter (what you will be taking pictures of), set up, any edits (you will need to list two billboards, and two magazine advertisements).
*You may change your idea(s) as you are taking pictures and editing. This is just to get you started thinking. Remember to have cohesion (what links everything together?). This is due tomorrow.

Instructions

Students will choose their favorite band/musician, and create three different options for an album Cover design. You will upload all three pictures, and print your best one.
1. Choose a band/musician, and an album they already have out. Look at the album title/songs, and think of themes, pictures, and colors that would be appropriate for that album.
2. Take three different pictures for different options for album covers.

Take a photo for each day of the month. You can be creative with your interpretations. You can edit these in any way you see fit. Work on this throughout the month and when you have extra time in class. Do not save it for the last minute. Each photo is worth 3 pts. You will be graded on creativity/composition, color, focus/clarity, for a total of 93 pts. Attached is the prompt.

Instructions
Please answer the following questions (if your ideas change, that's okay):

Band or musician you're designing the art for.
Album/CD you're designing for (not just one song, the whole album. you may need to do some research).
Your three ideas: What are you taking pictures of, and what edits will you do.
Due at the beginning of class Monday. Please take pictures over the weekend. I don't want to see a bunch of pictures of the art room or school. I do have objects that could possibly work but please be creative.

Instructions
Process:

Find object that could become letters. Please be creative. If you do all pencils or something to make a letter, you will lose points for creativity. These objects could be all different sizes, because you can shrink the picture down.
Choose a word—this word must have at least four letters. It could be a first or last name, or just a word that has meaning to you.
Edit the photos. The photos should have a consist theme. You could do color, black and white, sepia tone, etc. You could do more of the wilder edits as well. Just keep a consistent theme with each picture. Make sure the background is blurred or not distracting.
Put all of the photos of each word on a separate document. You could do a collage form on ipiccy, or simply put the pictures on word. You will probably want some sort of frame or border around each picture. Please print these horizontally, so that the word reads from left to right. You will upload one to Classroom(which you could just put on word), and print one. You could print out individual photos (small) and glue them with spacing onto paper or print it all as one. You want to make sure you print it in landscape view if you do it that way.
Glue the photo onto a black or colored piece of paper for a bit of a frame.
You will be graded on readability (can I tell what the word is)—10 points, Each photo (composition, color, focus, clarity)—80 points, creativity—5 points, and craftsmanship (gluing of the picture onto paper)—5 points.. This is worth a total of 100 points, and you can earn up to 20 points for the additional extra credit. This is due at the end of class Friday. Below are linked below. *If you can't print you can put both on Google Classroom.

Instructions
Students will create two cubistic works of art using a variety of photographs and compose it in a collage form. Students may work in black and white, or color. Students can create portraits, landscapes, still lifes, or a combination of both. Students can take pictures inside or outside of class.
Procedure: 1. Students will choose subject matter. Students will take photos of an area, slowly shifting and moving camera ever so slightly. Students are encouraged to get closer and further away in some areas. Students must take a minimum of ten photos per collage, but may take up to thirty photos. 2. Students will upload photos to computer and edit as they see fit. Please make sure the photos are not blurry, and have excellent lighting/contrast. Any additional editing is up to the student. Think about what kind of mood you want to create. 3. Students will will do both collages on ipiccy or word. Use the collage tool, and you can pic the format that you would like. Make sure it has a minimum of ten spots. Projects will be due at the end of class on Tuesday. Students will be graded on overall composition (balance/arrangement of photos), photography (lighting, quality, edits, etc.), creativity, and craftsmanship. this is worth a total of 80 points.

Instructions
Students will take pictures of two people and create two cubistic portraits mashing up their faces. Take four portrait pictures of each person. Zoom in and out to get different angles. You will will swap and collage pictures to come up with two different portraits. You may do this on word or ipiccy in layers. You will print your favorite photo and upload both to Classroom. Attached are examples. If you don't get pictures today, you could take pictures of friends/family members tonight. You can edit the photos to change the color, or make them black and white but you don't need to.

Upload 6 portrait photos, please title/label each type of lighting. Print your best one and write the lighting on the back. You must demonstrate and label all six types of lighting (Split, Loop, Rembrandt, Butterfly, Short, and Broad). After you take the pictures, you can edit as you see fit on the computer (change to black and white, contrast, color, shadow, vignette, etc). You will be graded on the composition, clarity, focus, contrast, and the use of each type of lighting, for a total of sixty points. Please follow this link, for further assistance.

Cubism Questions : Cubism Unit Answer the questions on Google Classroom. You may do this on word, or answer the questions in the comment, and attach your picture and painting. You may use the internet to find your answers. Please put it in your own words, and do not copy/paste. 1) Define Cubism. What is it, and when did it start? 2) List three famous Cubistic artists. 3) Who is David Hockney? How does he relate to Cubism? 4) Choose one cubistic PAINTING. Name the title and artist, and attach the picture. What do you like or dislike about this painting? How does it make you feel? Feel free to give your honest opinion. 5) Choose on cubistic PHOTOGRAPH. Name the title and artist, and attach the photograph. What do you like or dislike about this photograph? How does it make you feel? This research will help you with your next assignment.

Students will take pictures inspired by the photographer they researched. The pictures could be in the same style, edits, or subject matter. Please be prepared to tell me how the photos relate to the artist that you researched. Students will be graded on fitting the theme, composition, color, and focus/clarity. Take 5 photos and upload to classroom. Print your best if you can. Make sure you give yourself time to edit if you need to.

Instructions
You will create two different photographs using two different methods. Each photograph will have a drawing over it. I want you to use photos that you've taken. They could be ones that you have turned in for a portfolio assignment.
Method 1:

Draw a picture, object, image that goes with a photo that you've taken. This can be more of an outline, or you can get more in depth with the drawing. I probably wouldn't completely shade or color in because it will be an overlay with the photo.
Take a picture of the drawing and upload it to ipiccy. You can edit the drawing any way you would like.
Cut out the drawing. There should be no background of the paper, just the drawing itself.
In layers put the drawing over the photo of your choice. You can play with fading or different edits to get it the way you want. Save photo.
Method 2:
Upload photo to ipiccy (different photo from the first one). Go to the paint edit. You will draw your picture using the paint tools you can use the brush, pencil or create lines and shapes for a design. This could be an overall design, or drawing of something. Save and upload to Google Classroom.
*After you upload both pictures I want you to type which method you liked better and why. Attached are examples. You will be graded on composition, drawing (not harshly..I know this isn't a drawing class), color, creativity.

Instructions
You will partner up with someone. You need to take a portrait of them. Less background is more effective. Over your model's face/clothing, you will type a quote or some sort of sentence that is descriptive of the person.Interview them and find out their likes and dislikes. Here are the steps to achieve this: 1. Take picture (plain background/wall works best). 2. Upload to ipiccy, and go in layers. In vector mask, cut the person out. On the person, you need to add the text, play with transparency, so the words look like they belong on the person, and not just overlayed. You may need to play with size, text, etc.so that it fits. If anyone finds a way to curve the letters, please share this with the class. Once you have it they way you want it, you need to save it and add a background (solid color or texture, etc). You may do any other edits you would like as well. This is time consuming, and I want you to put the time/effort into this. Below are examples. You will be graded on the photo, use of text, color, and creativity.

Your next assignment is called "My Other Self." I would like you to take pictures outside of the classroom. You will choose one background (living room, bed room, outside, etc.) and have one person model several times, doing several different things. Example: In the living room a person could be watching TV, eating, reading a book, taking a nap, etc. You will cut them out (besides one that you can use in your background), and put them all on the same scene. You will NOT need to fade the people. I would like to have these printed and uploaded to Google Classroom. You will be graded on composition, creativity, use of cut outs (neatness of cut outs), clarity/color, for a total of 40 points. This will be a portfolio grade. You need to have a minimum of four poses, but you can do more. Attached are examples.

Time Sequence Photo: This assignment is to be printed (if you can), and uploaded to Google Classroom on Monday before class. You will take a pictures of someone doing an action (walking, jumping, getting a drink of water, cartwheel, etc..be creative). You are going to put the pictures together as one, and they should be faded and gradually get darker to show the action. You may use someone in class and do this outside. You will have to have the background be completely the same if you are going to match them up in layers on ipiccy. Otherwise, you can do a cut out on ipiccy. You will be in layers, go to vector mask, click on the points that you want to cut out, and when you are done, up the smoothness to 24 or 25. You then apply the mask. The one picture of the action that is the darkest can be your background. Below is an example. The part that is farthest away will be the lightest and then gradually get darker going towards the action. You will do this by fading. This will be worth 50 points and you'll be graded on composition, neatness of cutouts, fading, and overall light, shadow, and clarity of the photo.

Students will take aesthetically pleasing pictures using worm's eye and bird's eye view. Please be creative. Students must also think about composition, clarity, focus, and color. Students may edit photos on the computer to enhance pictures. Students will put eight pictures on google classroom and print their best one, for a total of eight pictures. Students will take pictures outside of class.

Instructions
Students will add two different textures to two different photos. Play with blend, saturation, and fade. TYPE what you did to each photo. This is part of your grade. I do not need "before" pictures, but I need TWO different photos with different textures. Please use photos that you have taken if possible.

Instructions
Students will use ipiccy to edit a photo in a "spooky" or creepy way. Please be creative and have fun with this! You may upload a photo you have taken or take one from Google if you don't have a photo to use. Some edits that you can use on ipiccy, but are not limited to are:
Gritty, color tint, posterize, liquify, clone, lip, eye color, and stickers.

Students will use two different photos to create two different types of pictures.

Upload a picture with something you can clone (can be an object or person) to ippicy

Go to retouch--pic w/face, and under advanced edits, you can find the clone tool

Click clone tool, and click on what you would like to clone. You can change brush size, hardness, etc.

If you are working in sections, hit apply each time.

Clone an object in a realistic manner, and upload to Edmodo.

Clone a second picture--this time be more artistic with it--you may clone multiple times to make it look like someone is in motion. You may be silly/artistic with it. You can make other adjustments/edits if you would like.

You will watch the video on how to do a cutout on ipiccy. Upload a photo of choice and create a cut out. Save and upload. I should not need a before picture, as the background should look like a checkerboard/blank.

I'd like you to look at the photo with an artistic eye. What do you like about it? Is there anything that you don't like? Then I would like you to list what element or elements is dominant (line, shape, form, color, texture, etc.)? Why do you say this? What type of balance is used(Rule of thirds, or symmetry)? Why do you say this? Is there anything you would like to add?

Instructions
Students will upload a photo to ipiccy, and go to the retouch section (the picture of a face), and edit. Feel free to use blemish fixer, shine remover, blush, eye bright, etc. Make sure that it still looks realistic though. Make the picture look as best as you can, and upload a before and after. You can use a Google image if needed.

Instructions
This time, I would like you to look at the photo and answer KWL questions.
K-What do you KNOW from looking at this picture and reading the text below? What information can you gather from it?
W-What do you WANT to know? What questions do you want answered?
L-What did you LEARN? What info can you gather by looking at the picture?
What do you LIKE about the picture? What elements are dominant? Line, shape, value, form, texture, light, etc.

Instructions
Students will take aesthetically pleasing pictures where the element of repetition is dominant. Please be creative. Students must also think about composition, clarity, focus, and color. Students may edit photos on the computer to enhance pictures. Students will put eight pictures on google classroom, and print the best one for a total of eight photos. Students will take pictures outside of class. Students will class time during the week to edit. These are due at the BEGINNING of class on Monday. Repetition means anything repeating. However, you can change the color of one to make it more interesting. Ideas are but are not limited to: buttons, rocks, apples in a gorcery store, markers, etc.

Attach the before and after picture for a total of TWO photos. Type a brief explanation of what editing you did. You may want to take notes along the way, so you remember all that you did.Site you can use include (but are not limited to): fotoflexer, pixlr.com, lunapic.com, befunky.com, and ipiccy. You can use a photo that you took last week.

Students will choose their top eight photos that they took around town. The very best one needs to be printed.Upload all 8 on Google Classroom. You can put this on one google document, or upload separately. You may crop and/or use auto fix, but those are the only editing tools I want you to use right now. You will be graded on composition, clarity/focus, lighting/color, and creativity. Each photo is worth ten points, so this portfolio is worth 80 points.This will be due at the BEGINNING of class on Tuesday when we come back. Thursday will be a work day to upload and minimally edit your photos and print one.

Please write a brief (few paragraphs) summary of the Ted Talk "Photos that Changed the World." What stood out to you? What did you find interesting? What did you learn? This will be due on Monday. Refer back to the video if you need to watch again to write summary.

I'd like you to look at the photo with an artistic eye. What do you like about it? Is there anything that you don't like? Then I would like you to list what element or elements is dominant (line, shape, form, color, texture, etc.)? Why do you say this? What type of balance is used(Rule of thirds, or symmetry)? Why do you say this? Is there anything you would like to add?
