Today we worked on design elements and photography. Our assignment was to go around the school (inside and out) to take pictures of different elements and principles of design. We had 14 different elements/principles to capture, line, shape, color, texture, scale, space, contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, proportion, emphasis, rhythm and balance. I found that many of my pictures could work for multiple elements and principles. When we are finished with these pictures we will put them in a website with descriptions for each one. These concepts are all fairly new to me, I have heard of some of them but not as in depth as this. In middle school I had a short unit of photography composition but it was much more general and generic than what we are doing now. I haven't had much experience with photography but it interests me so I'm glad we are learning about it. I noticed that many of the schools features were symmetrical and had nice textures because it was mostly built out of stone. These photography techniques are also good for me to learn because I can use them not only for photography but also for drawing and other compositions. Now that I know these techniques I can see what artists and graphic designer might have been trying to do. We aren't done with these yet but, I have already learned about many new design compositions and I am ready for what is next.
