By now you should have:
1. Intro to dark room techniques:
An explanation of pin hole photography. Some examples of artists work and a description of your own experience of it.
An explanation of Photograms. Some examples of artists work (look at Many Ray) and a description of your own experience.
For the next few weeks we will be leaving the dark room and looking at using digital cameras. In particular we will examine the theme of 'Texture', both man made and natural.
Within this we need to push your use of the SLR cameras. So, when taking shots, change the aperture & shutter settings several times for the same compostition. This will allow you to immediately see the difference in outcome these settings can create. Depth of field should be manipulated as should the framing of shots.
Combined with this should be your exploration of artists you admire and their work on texture. So a typical investigation should consist of:
1. Brainstorm/mind map theme.
2. Sketch ideas for images
3. Exploration of existing photographers work.
4. Take at least two images that you admire and explain why using textual analysis sheets.
5. Choose one of these to act as a spring board for your own photography.
6. Print out a few and experiment with cropping and manipulating digitally in iphoto initially ( we will move on to Photoshop later).
7. From within iphoto find out the info shutter speed, aperture and ISO and note down. Annotate the results of this research, what aesthetic result does it have?
8. Produce your favourite image and do a textual analysis of it, explaining how it 'works'.
