I picked this picture for Simplicity because you really don't have to look at the picture to tell what you so posed to be looking at.

Elements of art and principles of design

Elements of art

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

I picked this photo for lines because there are really clear lines in the paintings in this photo and the way they are colored makes them really pop out.

I picked this painting for lines because there are really black bold lines that are outlining the bull.

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.

I picked this painting for shape because there are a lot of rectangles and circles in his image.

I picked this picture for shape because its a cube with different painting of shapes on the sides.

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.

I picked this picture for color because they are color pencils on a colored paper.

I picked this painting for color because there are a lot of different color uses.



Value (Tone): 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. 

I picked this picture for value(tone) because it shows a lot os shading.

I picked this painting for value(tone) because there is a lot of shading. And in one tree there is color and the other tree looks like the back of an old mans head.

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

I picked this picture for form because its a lot of forming. with the same snape over and over 

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.

Principles of design 

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

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.

photo manipulation and ethics

What the article is stating is that some people use things in bad ways. They use photo shop or other things like it ti show how they have more power. In 1980's people put in newspapers bigfoot, aliens, and other mythical creatures.

 I think this type of photo editing is unacceptable because its like lying to someone face. 

I think this is the most unethical picture because its mean they were trying to make oj look mean or bad.

I think this is kinda ethical because they fixed her teeth so she won't be on the cover of a magazine with her teeth best up. if i was her i would want them to do that for me.

40 greatest photos

I picked this photo because its sad and shows how loyal dogs can be. I think it made the 40 greatest photos because it is a really strong picture. I love how this photo is set up because you can see all the other holes in the ground but only one has a dog by it.

I picked this photo because it's really sad and i wanted to put it on my blog for people to see, because some people don't get to see there parents everyday so be respectful to them. This is a really great photo because you can see their facial features.

I picked this photo because it's a really sweet photo. I really like how you can see the background it's really pretty. i think this picture mad the 40 greatest photos because it shows some people have respect.

Camera parts

Aperture- An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels.


Shutter- Is the thing that takes the photo



A mechanical device of a camera that controls the duration of a photographic exposure, as by opening and closing to allow light coming through the lens to expose a plate or film.

Exposure- The Amount of light being in the photo.

The state of being exposed to contact with something.

Depth of field- The distance between the nearest and the farthest objects that give an image jugged on the focus of the camera.

F-stop- A camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number.

focal length- The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.



Buttons on a camera:

1.) erase - erases an image you do not like or need.
2.) menu button- a button that takes you to the menu
3.) Setting button- takes you to the settings.
4.) Flash button- turns on or off the flash.
5.) magnify button- allows the picture to be zoomed in or out.

Camera history

                                                            The camera

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?

             Camera obscure which is latin for dark room. It was the first camera. It was inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?

         In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce? 

               There were three parts to the small portable camera; A glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera? 

                        Modern cameras are small so are niepces.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image? 

         The digital cameras do not use old and plastic film they use an electronic sensor called CCD.

                                                     Camera modes

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?

              Auto mode: The camera will completely control flash exposure. on most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A". Some cameras only have (p)rogram.

              Program mode: Automatic-assist, just point the camera and shoot. unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.       

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work? 

        Portrait mode is used for attempting to blur out the background, the camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) 

How does it work?

          The sports mode is used to freeze motion so the picture won't be blurry, The camera will use the highest shutter motion possible.

                                The half pieces 

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?

                  You do an half press on the trigger button to focus the image.

                                                  Controlling flash 

10. What does this symbol mean, When would you use it?

              This symbol means no flash, And you use it when your in a room with not much light.

11. What does this symbol mean, when would you use it?

    This symbol means auto flash which means the camera will automatically flash if the room needs more light (doesn't have enough)

                                                    Introduction to exposure

12. what happens to your photo if there is too much light?

       The camera will auto adjust.

13. What happens if your photo if there is not enough light?

       The camera will flash.

       

                                                       The universal stop      

14. What is a “stop.”

                 The word stop is used every aspect of photography, it means to represent change in the brightest of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two suns instead of one?

               The new planet will be one stop brighter.

         

16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four suns instead of two?

         The planet will be four stops brighter.


                                                    Shutters and aperture

17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?

         The picture will have more light.

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?

        The picture will have less light.

19. What does the aperture control?

         The aperture is like a pupil. you can control the aperture by setting the "aperture opening", also known as the F-stop 

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?

        You can control the aperture by setting the "aperture opening", also known as the F-stop

Best and worst photos

 Worst photo: i really didn't like this photo because its blurry. And her glasses are sending a glare. you really can't tell her facial features.

Best photo: I really like this picture because you can see her face. Her posture is really good. and she liked the picture herself.
