Welcome to the Media Arts Blog
This blog
will be helpful throughout the semester. You will find interesting and
helpful links to enhance the studio experience. Please take the time to
view the links and tutorials for additional guidance. Below is the link
to your first photo assignment. It is called "Find your
Aesthetic" and requires a series of photographs of objects, scenes,
people, and animals of your choice. We will look at the images you
capture to see how you view the world through a camera lens.

Take a look at the
blendspace link for ways you can capture images over the holiday.
Christmas is a great time to document moments that can become great
digital works of art. Things to document include
relatives. Older people make the most dramatic imagery; take close-up
images of their faces, hands, shoes, etc. Capture moments not just
prepared poses. Candid images often show and tell a story of an
event much better than a posed portrait. Take images of food,
decorations, and outdoors from all points of view. (Bird's eye,
worm's eye, and normal view.) Think
about the foreground, background, and middle ground when capturing an
image. Try to tell a story.
