Rule of Thirds Critique

Get your photos - write your name on back

Today's Purpose: To analyze and critique a work of art, offer suggestions and comments to help the artist with future assignments.

We'll get into 4 small groups
Share your images (what were you trying to show through these photos - technique, something else?)
As a group - decide:
- What images are strongest in your group? Why?
- What images are weaker? What could the artist do differently to improve this shot?

Share out with the class - THANK YOU!

Turn in your photos with your artist statement
*reminder - #mhsfototree19 due tomorrow

Rule Of Thirds

Your first photographic assignment is based on the number one rule of composition in photography - the Rule of Thirds! Please review this slideshow, take notes in your sketchbook/notebook. Complete the brainstorming assignment - DUE Thursday. 
When finished, you can begin shooting. I will have cameras ready to be checked out on Thursday/Friday. Please make sure your contract is turned in. We will come up with a due date on Friday for the photo assignment. 

I hope you enjoy this first project, and I'm looking forward to seeing your great photos! 

Please email me if you have any questions: kcwilson2@cps.edu
