I LOVE seeing the photos you've been taking!! Kudos to each of you!! You are doing so well! Keep on snappin'!
For this week, keep on with the assignments from last week's post, which are:
- Choose themes that you want to explore for each week of this unit and write them down on the paper I gave you in class a couple weeks ago. You can choose one theme per week, or more than one, and you can choose from the list below or choose themes of your own. Be creative, but purposeful!
- Take photos practicing your composition skills and pay attention to lighting. Remember to Stop and Think! :)
- Choose 2-4 of your favorite photos and email them to me by Wed. Dec. 10 so we can all admire them in class! Hopefully everyone will have photos to share, so in the interest of time please choose just your top 2-4.
- And Have Fun!
