VERSE-INSPIRED
Finding inspiration from outside resources is a great strategy...especially when you’re having photographer’s block. Literature offers some great starting points. The quote, “A picture says a thousand words” comes to mind. For as we read text, we so often visualize what we are reading. On the flip side, when we see a picture we often generate a story. Find a verse, from a book, poem, song, or passage that has a strong visual impression on you. Post an image that visualizes your verse. You may choose to put the words into the photo, along side the photo (diptych), or in the commentary. Be sure to credit your text source.
REMEMBER THE RULES:
Your photo must be digital and current. No old photos.
You may use photo editing programs to alter your photo if you choose.
Your entry will be worth a 20 point homework grade, and will be graded according to the following criteria:
Objective/Concept: To what degree do you solve the problem? To what extent do you creatively solve it as an independent thinker? Did you solve it out of convenience, or did you take time to think of a good idea, plan, and then execute it well? Did you think of the problem literally, or did you personalize it and come up with a unique & meaningful response?
Design: How elegantly do you employ a photographic principle of composition, or use a principle of design in your work?
Camera Exposure: How well do you consider and employ proper exposure settings on your camera when taking this picture? Did you use the correct white-balance setting? Is the exposure clean and clear? Well focused?
Presentation: Did you make any necessary adjustments on Photoshop to adjust color or clarity? Is it cropped correctly? Did you upload it to the Flickr pool at the proper image resolution and by the corresponding due date?
