New Semester with New Young Photographers

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.
