Abstract Assignment
Click on the thumbnail to see larger image.
OBJECTIVES:
There are a lot of different definitions of abstract art. For this project we will consider abstract photography something that is based on a real object, but your depiction of the object generally emphasizes line, color, shape, geometrical forms, and their relationship to one another instead of a realistic representation of the object itself. Getting in close will help. If someone glances at your finished image it should not be easy for them to identify the subject.
Some ideas here
PROCEDURES:
Do some research. Google abstract photography. Look at the samples you find. Go out and create your own images. Experiment with different positions and angles. The more you experiment the better your images will be. At first glance the viewer should not be able to identify the object, subject, location, etc.
You can not take pictures of paintings, drawings, prints on material, etc.
TURN IN:
3 - 5x7 or 8x10, native resolution (leave the resolution box blank when using the crop tool) abstract images. The images should have photographic integrity.
You should have 2 versions of each file. A layered Photoshop file showing the basic file prep steps, and a jpg to put on your Weebly site.
Name the files: Abstract 1, Abstract 2, Abstract 3.

Do this for all photo assignments.
EVALUATION:
Did you follow the instructions? Is this your very best work? Are the pictures properly exposed and in focus? Are they straight? Do they have an interesting center of interest?
