Assignment 3: Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
There are a lot of different definitions of abstract art. For this project we will consider abstract photography something that is based on a real object, but your depiction of the object generally emphasizes line, color, shape, geometrical forms, and their relationship to one another instead of a realistic representation of the object itself. Getting in close will help. If someone glanses at your finished image it should not be easy for them to identify the subject.
For ideas on abstract photography go here.
PROCEDURES:
Do some research. Google abstract photography. Look at the samples you find. Go out and create your own images. Experiment with different positions and angles. The more you experiment the better your images will be. At first glance the viewer should not be able to identify the object, subject, location, etc.
TURN IN:
4 - 5x7 or 8x10, native resolution (leave the resolution box blank when using the crop tool) abstract images. The images should have photographic integrity.
EVALUATION:
Did you follow the instructions? Is this your very best work? Are the pictures properly exposed and in focus? Are they straight? Do they have an interesting center of interest?
