Transcript Slide 1

Welcome!
• Sit at/gather at a
tables in groups of 3
to 5.
• Please skim through
the two pages at the
beginning of your
packet: Elements of
Art and/or Principles
of Design!
• Jot down any/up to 5
new concepts you
have just learned
inside the cover
sheet.
Learning Goals: we will be able to

photographic composition that can be
integrated into a lesson and used in
taking photographs.
•Identify curriculum opportunities to
use digital cameras in the classroom.
End of Lesson Question: How will you
incorporate the use of digital cameras and
the art of photography in a future lesson?

With
The Elements of Art
The Principles of Design
The Rules of Photography
Plus
Integrated Technology Standards
3.0 Creative Expression and Production: Students
will demonstrate the ability to organize knowledge and
ideas for expression in the production of art.
3.2. Investigate a variety of ways that
artists develop ideas and organize the elements of art in
response to what they see, know, and feel.
3.2.b Identify and describe color, line,
shape, texture, form, space, and selected principles of
design, such as pattern, repetition, contrast, and balance
in artworks that convey what they see, know, and feel.

Tools + Ideas = Cameras in your
Classroom!
Digital Camera
ACTIVITY
Use digital cameras to
photograph images
representing content
vocabulary
(antonym/synonym pairs,
similes, weather, angles).
Use digital cameras to
photograph portraits to
(illustrate character traits,
identify stereotypes,
biographies,
autobiographies).
Curriculum Connections
(Brainstorm)
•Identify
content
connections for
one or more
activities
•Determine which
art connection
you will
incorporate

With your table mates create a tree
map by organizing the descriptors
into categories of the 6 elements of
art: Value, Color, Line, Shape,
Texture, Space! Use your handout for
reference…
LINE
SHAPE
TEXTURE
SPACE
Diagonal
Geometric
Surface quality
Overlap
Contour
Organic
Impasto
depth
Thin/Thick
Enclosed space
Real/implied
Continuous mark
2 dimensional
Foreground/
background
Positive/Negative
Rough/smooth
LINE
•A mark made by a moving, continuous
point.
•Has greater length than width.
•Directs the eye – horizontal, vertical,
diagonal, curvy, zig-zag, etc.
•Can be thin, thick and includes the
contour or the borders/edges of shapes.
SHAPE
•Enclosed space
•Can be GEOMETRIC (man-made) ex. Square,
triangle, circle, etc.
•Can be ORGANIC (natural) ex. Leaves,
humans, puddles, etc.
•Shapes are 2-Dimensional and flat. (circle)
FORM
•3-Dimensional with height, width and depth.
(sphere)
•Used to create a sense of space and
substance.
SPACE
•The area used or unused in a composition.
•Positive space – the area the objects/subject takes up
and negative space – the area around, under, through
and between.
•Gives the photo a 3-dimensional feeling. (Depth)
•Provides the Foreground (closest), Middle ground, and
Background (farthest).
•Can be open, crowded, near, far,
•Distant shapes are higher; near shapes are lower in the
composition.
VALUE
•Tints, shades, tones
•Lightness or darkness
•Can add drama, contrast, and impact
•Can give a sense of timelessness
TEXTURE
•The surface quality.
•How an object feels, or how it looks like it feels.
•Rough, smooth, bumpy, gooey, sharp, etc.
•Adds interest! Sense of sight and sense of touch
involved.
COLOR
•Artistic term is HUE
•Need light to see color.
•Primary, Secondary, Tertiary.
•Use color schemes to enhance appeal or
make impact: analogous vs. complementary
colors (where located on color wheel).

EMPHASIS or Focal Point
Emphasis in a composition refers to developing points of
interest to pull the viewer's eye to important parts of the
body of the work. This can be achieved with element of
simplicity.
Balance
Symmetrical
Asymmetrical
Radial
Balance is a sense of stability in the body
of work. Balance can be created by
repeating same shapes and by creating a
feeling of equal weight.
CONTRAST
Contrast refers to the opposites and differences in the
work. You can achieve variety by using different shapes,
textures, colors and values in your work.
Repetition and Rhythm
Rhythm is a type of movement in drawing and
painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and
colors. Alternating lights and darks also give a
sense of rhythm.
Movement
Movement adds excitement to your work by
suggesting action or direction (providing a
path, a line for our eyes to follow) when we look at
a work of art.
The ART of Photographic COMPOSITION
CAMERA + VIEWPOINT
POINT OF VIEW
Camera Angle
• The camera angle marks the specific location
at which a camera is placed to take a shot.
A scene may be shot from several camera
angles. This will give different experience and
sometimes emotion.
High- Angle Shotaka Bird’s Eye View
Low-Angle Shot
aka Worm’s Eye view
• A low-angle shot, is
a shot from a camera
positioned low on the
vertical axis, often at
knee height, looking up.
Dutch Angle
A Dutch angle is achieved by tilting the camera
off to the side so that the shot is composed
with the horizon at an angle to the bottom of
the frame.
Straight Angle
• Any photograph taken
straight on- many of the
Points Of View can be
combined to make even
more interesting
techniques.

Matthew Brady
Photographs are not simply randomly 'taken' but are in
fact, 'crafted' using skills of exposure and light selection
as well as compositional skills. Images are, therefore,
composed in order to tell a story.

you see here in this
room! Be prepared
to share.

Your Turn!
• Given an assigned component (green card),
collaborate with a colleague to create a series of
photographic compositions demonstrating the
component.
• Criteria for success
– Identify images in and around the area that
meet the criteria of the assigned components.
– Take lots of photographs illustrating these in your
images/compositions.
– Narrow them down to 3-4 for each component
(card) by deleting unwanted shots.
– Be prepared to share them to your colleagues
and explain your artistic decisions!
