High School of Art and Design 10th Grade Summer Assignments Photography Instructor: Ms. McLaughlin The Summer of Me Photographs impact an audience when the image displays a mood, intimacy, event, impactful moment, color or contrast. The photographer chooses what to photograph and compose. It is all based on your curiosity and interest. The three summer assignments are all about you. Show us your experiences this summer! Look at your life, appreciate it, and see how interesting the small and large experiences of your life are! Light is one of our main tools we attempt to capture in different ways in photography. All three assignments are geared toward getting you to think about light. I highly recommend keeping a sketchbook for your ideas. Journaling, doodling and drawing are great ways to think through your visual thoughts! Don’t judge your drawing skills!
Assignment One ARTIFICAL LIGHT: How do light bulbs create different colors of light? What is color temperature? Create up to TEN PORTRAITS of people you admire. Photograph each person under a different ARTIFICAL LIGHT source. Make your model feel comfortable. Assignment Two NATURAL LIGHT: How does the light change throughout the day? Photograph up to TEN IMAGES of your favorite locations (travel or local) at each hour of the day. Mark each hour and your camera settings on a sheet of paper: APERTURE, SHUTTER SPEED and ISO.
Assignment Three COLOR or BLACK and WHITE: How does color or contrast emphasize an image? Photograph an experience in TEN IMAGES emphasizing either the COLOR of the atmosphere or the CONTRAST. ARIFICAL LIGHT comes from light bulbs. Color Temperature can be determined based on the intensity and tone of the light the bulb gives off. NATURAL LIGHT comes from the sun.
