Great Black&White Photographers Part 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them?   The first thing that caught my eye when i saw the photo of Ansel Adams was the waterfall. I chose him because i just love the way he angled his photos.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see . . . I see mountains from far away. The sky right above the mountains... all around me just beautiful nature.

I smell . . .  I smell fresh air.. the wet grass, the dirt.

I hear . . . I hear birds flying, the fresh air blowing against me.

I taste . . . I taste the fresh air.

I feel . . . I fell the air blowing, the wet grass against my skin.

To show the world about my photographer I would like to create a poster and put in it some of his best black and white photos and also some of his personal life story.

Elements Of Art && Principles Of Design

Line - marks made by a tool and can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

Shape - are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world.

Color  - color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. They also who the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, and analogous colors next to each other.

Value (Tone) - refers to dark and light. It helps us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art

Form - describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

Texture - refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

Space - refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. It can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional


Principles OF Design

Balance - is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are 3 different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radia.

Contrast - created by using elements that conflict with one another, and it is often created using complementary colors or extremely light & dark values.

Emphasis - The focal area of an artwork that gives it importance

Movement - means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of edges, shapes, and colors that often lead to the focal areas. It is a visual flow through the composition.

Pattern - is when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.

Rhythm - is the repetition of shapes, lines and forms, it is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly

Unity - means that all the elements in artwork are in harmony.

Mural Review..

A good theme for an Akins Mural would be an eagle and the colors blue and gold. The Eagle because that's our mascot and the colors blue and gold because that's our colors..

This would be a good theme to take time and capture because it would show or Akins spirit.. I think other students would care about this theme because it represents our school.

An advantage of using a Phone camera is that you can take a photo everywhere you go. And a disadvantage is that the picture may not have the same quality as a photo taking by a SLR camera.

The advantage of using a SLR camera is that the photos are going to be high quality but a disadvantage is that you may not know how to use it or you may not take it with you at all times.

I think we should use both for this project because we can take picture everywhere we go.
