I once was laughing uncontrollably during a test for some weird reason in class, middle school year and I got kicked out of class.

The way I cope stress is by just putting on my earphones and listen to music and ignoring everyone and everything for awhile.

Academics shoot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? One challenge was that most of the school has the same structure.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. What had me thinking the most was focusing on whatever I was going to take a picture of.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I probably would of gone to more different places, I would of liked to go outside the school more.

4. What things would you do the same? The thing that I would keep the same is the way I developed the pictures.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?   The easiest rule to achieve in my opinion is repetition.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture? The hardest rule to capture is rule of thirds in my opinion.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is? The rule that I'm not completely hundred percent is avoiding mergers. I can search what it is on my own time.

Elements of art and design

Line

  Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

---

Shape

  Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

---

Color

Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

---

Value

Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

---

Form

  Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

---

Texture

Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

---

Space

Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. 

Balance

Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

---

Contrast

Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

---

Emphasis

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.

---

Movement

  Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

---

Pattern

Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

---

Rhythm

Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

---

Unity

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

 Repetition

1. I followed the rule pretty good.

2. It's the repetition of the wire in between the glass.

3. Yes, because it constantly repeats.

Balance

1. I did not follow the rule that well.

2.Consentrating on the circle because it's a shape.

3. Not really because balance usually have more and different shapes in the picture.

4. I probably would of taken the picture of the whole object instead of just the circles.

 Simplicity

 1. I think I followed it well.

2. The simplicity of the flowers in the bush.

3. Yes, because it 's just some flowers in a bush which is really simple.

Leading Lines

1. I followed it really good.

2.  Leading lines to the entrance of the school.

3. Yes because the road is leading them somewhere or straight.

Contrast

1. I followed it good.

2. The two different types of texture and color of the bricks.

3. Yes because contrast is to different/opposite things but they have something in common.

Motion

This picture shows motion because the guy is head knocking his teacher and the girl is lifting up the papers from the desk and lastly the teacher is surprised so he moved both his hands.

 Fills the frame

This picture fills in the frame because both of the guys are looking to the middle of the picture.

The story

This picture shows that there's people that aren't selfish and think about others. The teenagers in this picture are giving the homeless food.

I choose this picture because I like how it's from a bird eye's point of view, and the rule is framing because it stops where the edges of the book shelve intersect with the ground.

I don't remember the names of the people I follow. But all the people I follow make really funny videos.

I would like to take more pictures and pass all my classes with A's. Also try to get out of an elective and   get in to algebra II.

Selfie quick write

This picture represents repetition, it looks like the girl is taking a picture of something or a selfie. While everyone around her is praying.

Photo manipulation and ethics

Photo manipulation is not bad but you can only use it in certain times. You can't use it when it's something related with government, federal, or anything that will make the public think badly. But it's okay to use it when it's not affecting anyone's perspective of something.

This picture is the most unethical because this university was trying to show diversity by putting in the african american's face. They put this student on the cover so people can see that they are also letting admission to a different race.

This picture is the least unethical because the only thing they changed from the original picture was that   they made her teeth better so it doesn't really change the meaning of the picture
