The ultimate goal of any piece of art is to communicate an idea, and emotion, or experience to the viewer. The elements of art and principles of design give you the tools and means to accomplish this.
Elements of Visual Art
Line
Shape & Form
Value
Color
Space
Texture
1. Lines
Objective: Students will focus on lines found in the environment in order to create leading lines, dynamic impact, and mood to a photograph.
Essential Question: What are the leading lines? Lines that direct people to what you want them to look at.
Purpose: To study various types of lines found in the environment and frame them in a photograph.
Assessment: 8 Photos (4 Photographs in School/ 4 out of school)
2 Horizontal Lines
2 Vertical Lines
2 Diagonal Lines
2 Converging Lines
2. Shapes
Objective: Identify geometric and organic shapes in the natural environment.
Purpose: Continue our study of the “Elements of Art” in photography.
Assessment: 8 Photos (4 classwork and 4 homework)
3. Color
Color Assignment:
2 image of cool colors
2 image of warm colors.
1 image mixing cool and warm( reference pg. 31 fig 2-12)
Objective: To learn the difference between cool and warm colors in the environment.
Purpose: To study how light behaves, related to the spectrum in photography.
Vocabulary:
-Warm Colors- The colors of light that include magenta (purplish red), red, and yellow.
-Cool Colors- The colors of light that include green, cyan (green & blue), and blue.
Assessment: 5 Images
Additional Assignment:
1. Using the radial filter to add emphasis to a photograph. Maximum 2 images.
2. Research a photographer that you find interesting. Find 2 photographs from that photographer that displays warm, cool, or mixed color palettes. Share with me the photographer, the 2 images from that photographer, and your feedback (1-2 sentences per photograph) via a slide or google doc.
4. Value
Objective: Students will study various photographers who used different systems and personal photographic goals using The Element of Art: Value.
Purpose: To study the quality of light and dark, both in terms of color and shades of gray, in a composition.
Essential Questions:
What is the zone system? A scale” of tones from black to white and assigned each one a number, with “I” being almost pure black and “IX” or “X” being nearly white or white. Zone “V” is middle gray, and each “Zone” is one-stop lighter or darker than its neighbor.
What does the zone system do? Makes area brighter/lighter, darker.
Assessment:
Ansel Adams “Zone System” Metering Activity”
-5..-4…-3…-2…-1...0…+1…+2…+3…+4…+5
Step 1: 6 photos (dark values)
Take a picture of an object; at 0 (middle).
Take pictures: -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 of the same object, do not move the camera (place camera steadily).
Step 2: 6 photos ( light values)
Take a picture of an object; at 0 (middle).
Take pictures: +1,+2,+3,+4,+5
Assignment
3 photos of lighter values-all same pictures, choose 1 that brings out the lights.
3 photos of darker values, choose 1 that brings out the darks.
5. Space
Objective: To study space, the two-dimensional arrangement of objects in a photograph. Space also refers to the three-dimensional illusion of depth in the image.
Instructions: Take 3 pictures that demonstrate space.
Assessment: 3 pictures
6. Texture
Objective: Texture- To create a photograph that looks real and suggest it three dimensional, rather than the two-dimensional object that it actually is.
Pattern- To create a photograph that includes any of the elements of art, but also and key, demonstrate repetition.
Assessment- 3 texture, 3 pattern
