BDP-Week 7
We’ll be looking at layering our photos to show depth and distance this week. Sam Abell (the Artist of the Week) is going to give us some instruction (video) on how to “Compose and Wait” as well as how to get depth in your photos.
I look forward to meeting your parents on Wednesday! Have you been showing off your work to them? Each week you should see your photography improve (and the technical stuff gets easier, too).
By now you should have all of the technical stuff down. If you are still struggling, please come see me or use open lab time to practice and learn. If you have not learned how to download, develop and resize your photos, you will get frustrated and not enjoy the class and miss all the fun! And I would not want that to happen to any of you.

Assignments and Assessments (Due This Week)
- NEW! Scavenger Hunt: (Assessment) – Instead of a quiz this week, you will be going on a Scavenger Hunt (internet) to find photos that demonstrate what we learned about COMPOSITION and the Elements and Principles of Design. Get the assignment HERE.
- PIXEL QUIZ: Will still be on Skyward this week. All quizzes are open book, so you only have one shot. Use your notes, Google, or the class website for answers. I would rather you find the right answer than not know it at all. The Pixels and Resolution Study Guide is located here.
Journal
- Topic of the Week: Work on your Topic of the Week in your journal (see below).
- Artist of the Week: You can start on the Artist of the Week at any time (see below).
