PHOTO+BREADTH

=Breadth 3 / Part 1:= PINHOLE WEBQUEST ** Pinhole Webquest! **  **Fill out answers on this wiki, right after each question. Put your initials after each answer! ** Go first to BIO. ** What places has he documented in the past 10 years with his pinhole?
 * I. Visit [] **

What **//about//** those places is he showing us?

How long has he been exhibiting his photography? (see the list of exhibitions)

** Next go to Gallery. ** Which gallery interests you most? Why?

Find an image which shows the movement of the subject due to the long exposure. What is the title and gallery it’s in? What is moving?

Look at all the pieces here. Look for the common thread. What is this work “about”? --- []
 * Check out Current Work. **
 * II. Next, visit **

-Look around that front page, but eventually, go to ** Gallery. **

View all of the images of __all the photographers there__. (once at a photographer’s page, arrow through all the images. Take your time viewing the characteristics of the pinhole photographs.) List the photographers here that you viewed:

Whose work do you find the most interesting?

Why?

Is your approach to pinhole photography changed since before you did this webquest?

= = = = = = = = =Breadth 2 / Part 2:= __** DUE TUESDAY, Sept. 6 **__ > ===Oh, and don't skip this one!!..... What do you think about cultural relevance and color symbolism? Do you have your own unique color interpretations? Who is right?===
 * 1) ===Your Objective: Compile all 30 of your color images into __a single work__ which expresses the SPIRIT of your color through a unified joining of image and text..===
 * 2) ===Research the symbolism of your color. Start [|here], but go much further.===
 * 1) ===Research font types that convey the character of your color and its symbolism. Also check this siteregarding font and personality.===
 * 2) ===Download/ otherwise acquire at least three different fonts. Your handwriting can be one of them. (scanned)===
 * 3) ===In Photoshop, layer the color images with text which describes the symbolism and associations we have with the color. Are there songs about the color? Maybe these lyrics could be incorporated as well....===

__ //Your Final Project may take any one of several forms:// __

 * === One large piece, containing all 30 images in a gridded format, Text layered over the top. I suggest you try wordle! We will print these out in large poster form. ===
 * == Layer the pieces individually with text, and create a book on [|blurb.com]. Depending on cost, lets order a copy. ==
 * == Do laser prints and tape transfers of all your color images. Create an altered book / cover and contents, all related to the theme(s) of the color. ==
 * === Any other idea you have for a final presentation: Run it past me! ===

= = = = =**Breadth 2:**= =** "Pick a Color" **=

Pick your color out of the hat. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" Your task is to go out and find 30 images that contain a minimum of 80% and hopefully 100% of that pure color. Preferably 100% of each image will be the purest form of that color. Think big, and shoot with your widest lens Think small, and break out the macro lens. Think close, and use the longest telephoto you have. Regardless of where your mind takes you, get outdoors, or use the studio, but stick to the exercise.

Color is a great challenge in that every color has a distinct mood with which it's associated. Emphasizing the mood should be high on your list of what you try to capture. Warm colors, especially red and orange, speak of heat, love, and passion. Conversely, the cool tone of blue suggests serenity, peacefulness, and somber feelings.

When photographing color, look for areas where the color stands out from a muted background. This allows the image to pop off the page. Look for areas of adjacent color. Do the colors compete, or complement the subject? If they compete, the dominant subject may get lost in the confusion. Look for color harmony where many shades of the same color come together to form patterns or shapes. Work on shooting flowers, sides of buildings, articles of clothing, patterns of light and even sections of ordinary household items. Anything goes! Go find those colors. You may NOT use Photoshop to alter the natural colors.

__**Preferred techniques:**__
 * Color Temperature of your light source: be sure your __WHITE BALANCE__is set for the appropriate light source! Otherwise your colors will not image accurately.
 * Exposure
 * Cropping through the lens
 * Photoshopping- not for altering, but for //enhancing// images.

On __**Wednesday, Aug. 30:**__ BRING your 30 EDITED COLOR SHOTS in for review (and for 50 points)! The final project format will follow from there.
