IB Photography

• Practice compositional skills necessary for consistently successful photography.
• Produce and select work that reflects an awareness of cultural relevancy while exploring personal interests/concerns

• Complete the Art Journal addition prior to beginning the studio work.

Project Proposal:

• Envision a three-photogaph series you would like to complete for this assignment. It must draw from your research and exhibit an understanding of photographic composition and technical awareness.

• Complete a Project Proposal and turn it in to the In-Box at the front of the classroom.

• Create a variety of photographs that exhibit a clear connection to your research. These photographs may reflect another photographers compositional techniques and subject matter but may not be copies.
• Photographs may be printed in the 5X7 size to allow for matting and should be "glossy."
  • Students may also print their photographs at school but they must ensure a 5"X7" print size.
  • All student work must be demonstrably original. The IBO is rigorous and plagiarism is severely dealt with in the program.
    (NOTE: Practice photographing both 2 and 3 dimensional work.)
• Select from your group of photographs 3 which most clearly express one idea or topic, reflect the strongest connection to the works of others without plagiarism, and demonstrate a strong understanding and technical skill with the new media.
• This small series of photographs should express one consistent idea or message which is related to your theme.
• These photographs should emphasize one dominant object using either a focal point in the composition or depth of field to help the viewer identify a dominant object

Submitting your work for assessment:

• For this project you will be turning in four separate files:
  • The three original photographs you selected for the three-photo series.
    • These should remain in the .JPG format
  • A ".PDF" of the 3 5"X7" prints you made from your photographs with a ruler in the image. They may all be photographed together or separately but they must have a ruler in the picture.
    • 
• Upload the files mentioned (4) to your Google Drive Turn-in Folder or Project Subfolder if applicable.
• Rename the .JPG (Photograph) files as follows:
  • (NOTE:You do not need to type in .JPG when renaming files in Google Drive. )
  • <YourName>_<ProjectName>_<Title>1.JPG
  • <YourName>_<ProjectName>_<Title>2.JPG
  • <YourName>_<ProjectName>_<Title>3.JPG
• Rename the .PDF (Portable Document File) as follows
  • (NOTE:You do not need to type in .JPG when renaming files in Google Drive. )
  • <YourName>_<ProjectName>_<Title>Series.PDF
