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.

2. Welcome! Learning Goals: we will be able to identify and describe AI elements of 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? Today’s Journey Warm up – Art elements + principles Brainstorming Review: Elements of Art Tree map activity Review: Principles of Design Matching Intro to Rules of Photography Viewfinder activity Brainstorm curriculum connections Take photos to illustrate the use of elements, principles and/or rules.

5. TEACHING with CAMERAS: the ART of Photographic Composition With The Elements of Art The Principles of Design The Rules of Photography Plus Integrated Technology Standards Andy Goldsworthy 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.

6. Tools + Ideas = Cameras in your Classroom! Digital Camera ACTIVITY Curriculum Connections (Brainstorm) Art/Camera Connections Use digital cameras to photograph images representing content vocabulary (antonym/synonym pairs, similes, weather, angles).  Elements of Art (shapes, lines, form, space, color, texture, value)  Principles of Design (balance, pattern, repetition, repetition, movement, variety, unity, proportion, emphasis etc.)  Balance  Symmetry and Pattern  Creating Depth  Simplicity  Leading lines/path or direction of viewer’s eye  Framing, cropping to accentuate the image  Viewpoint (birds eye etc)  Zoom and perspective  Lighting conditions Use digital cameras to photograph portraits to (illustrate character traits, identify stereotypes, biographies, autobiographies).  Elements of Art (shapes, lines, form, space, color, texture, value)  Principles of Design (balance, pattern, repetition, repetition, movement, variety, unity, proportion, emphasis etc.)  Balance  Symmetry and Pattern  Creating Depth  Simplicity  Leading lines/path or direction of viewer’s eye  Framing, cropping to accentuate the image  Viewpoint (birds eye etc)  Zoom and perspective  Lighting conditions Use digital cameras to photograph objects or scenes for the purpose of illustrating concepts (mood, economic system, cause & effect, point of view/perspective).  Elements of Art (shapes, lines, form, space, color, texture, value)  Principles of Design (balance, pattern, repetition, repetition, movement, variety, unity, proportion, emphasis etc.)  Balance  Symmetry and Pattern  Creating Depth  Simplicity  Leading lines/path or direction of viewer’s eye  Framing, cropping to accentuate the image  Viewpoint (birds eye etc)  Zoom and perspective  Lighting conditions Identify content connections for one or more activities Determine which art connection you will incorporate

7. MATH Students reviewed math concepts for the unit test by creating photo stories Social Studies AI Review Station activity: Created tableau and captured it with a camera to illustrate the economies! Click on image to see video Create a storyboard with photos

8. The elements of art = ingredients (individual parts). The principles of design = the recipe (organizing ideas).

Use your handout for reference…

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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). Andy Goldsworthy

16. Emphasis Focal Point Balance Symmetrical Asymmetrical Radial Contrast Opposites Differences Rhythm/ Repetition Repeating shapes and colors Movement Providing a path for eyes to follow Can you match the Principle to the photo?

17. 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.

18. Balance 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. Symmetrical Asymmetrical Radial

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. CAMERA + VIEWPOINT The ART of Photographic COMPOSITION

23. 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.

24. High- Angle Shot- aka Bird’s Eye View

25. 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.

26. 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.

27. Straight Angle Any photograph taken straight on- many of the Points Of View can be combined to make even more interesting techniques. Alfred Stieglitz

28. Front View Side View Close up Matthew Brady

29. THE RULES OF PHOTOGRAPHY The ART of PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION 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.

31. Practicing the Rules: View Finder Activity Use the paper viewfinder to find the following rules in compositions you see here in this room! Be prepared to share. Rule of Thirds Leading Lines Simplicity Symmetry/pattern UsingUsing Video to Improve Practice: Video 101

32. 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!
