10/2, Class 4 - Composition

This week we started class with an exercise in composition focusing on lines.










Next we did a cut and paste composition exercise using just a few basic shapes to create illustrations of different words.





















These exercises set the stage for our discussion on basic elements of photographic composition.

HOMEWORK

1. Composition Assignment

2. Finish reading Chapter 4 of the Terry Barrett (p. 91-105, Aesthetically Evaluative - Theoretical)

NOTE: no new writing on this week's reading assignment (reading assessment) is due to the blogs this week BUT - some of you missed last week's, if that is the case please write one for the second reading assignment (pp. 78-91, up to Aesthetically Evaluative).

We will have a quiz next class on all of Chapter 4 and a discussion of the content in class.

Remember that we do not have class next week, Monday 10/9, because of "Columbus" day. We will resume class on Monday, 10/16. Both of the assignments will be due on the date of the next class session, 10/16.
