Independent Project

About 2 weeks ago in our class we worked on a end of the year project. The objective was to use at least 3 mediums to express how you feel. I used crayons, colored pencil, markers, and fabric. I made a picture about what is in my heart. Inside my heart was my family, friends, etc.

BUBBLE PICTURES

ALL PICTURES BY SAHARA SLATE

TOYS.

This week in photography, we took pictures of toys. Ms anderson showed us a picture of toys and after that, we went outside to take pictures with the toys. It was fun and after we were done, we took the photos and put them on our blog.

Forced perspective

This week in photography class, we looked at forced persective. Ms Anderson started by showing us a lot of pictures with forced prespective in the photo reflection . So after that we went out and took pictures using the different angles. You are supposed to be far away and do something closer and make it look like they are doing something. And after that we put it on our blog ; the pictures.

Bubbles .

This week in photography class, we took photos of bubbles. For the photo reflection ms anderson showed us a picture if a bubble. So later, we went out and took pictures of bubbles with other things in the bubble. The object is to make the object look like its inside the bubble and it looks magnified in the bubble. And later we put the photos into picnik and then onto the blog.

Mosaic

 Ayee whats good. This week in photography, we made mosaics, but we're not finished yet. We only made the plan on a piece of paper. But we took photos of the colors we need and we are going to cut up the pictures and use them as the thingys in the mosiac. And soon, it will be a mosaic made of real photos. 

Color Wheel

This week we got a paper assignment and we had to color in the colors in the order it goes in. It showed us about complimentary colors and how they bring out the best of each other. Yellow goes with purple because it is directly across from each other on the color wheel. And the same with blue and orange, and green and red. And after that we took real pictures but of the same colors.

Portrait Pictures

Yesterday, our photography class took portrait pictures of each other. On our camera, we had to use the rule of thirds.The rule of thirds is 9 boxes, like in a tic tac toe box. And the eyes of the person getting a picture has to be matched up with the top 2 intersections of the lines. And we also had to angle the photo so that the sun shines on the person you are taking a picture of from the front, back, side, and other side. And after that, we put the pictures inot Picnik and edited them to make them look nicer.

Claymation

We continued using Edward Muybridge's idea for using still photos and putting them together to make it seem like motion. Me Sahara and Kristyna made a claymation about a magic rug and a family. But there is a monster that wants to play, but the family is scared. The magic rug swallows the monster up and the dog plays with the monster. After that, we took pictures of the claymation and made it a video on Windows Movie Maker and put music to it.

Flip Book

In photography we are making a flip book. The first thing you do is to draw 10 boxes and draw in the first and last box so that you know what you want to make your flip book do. And after you are done, you take pictures of your flip book and edit them on Picnik. And then you make a movie on Windows Movie Maker.

History of Photography

We learned that early photos were called sun pictures, and that sunlight was used to create photos. Daguerre Louis created the photgraphic plate, Robert Maddox created the silver bronmide, and Matthew Brady was the first photojournalist, and Oscar Barnack made the first 35 millimeter camera.

Pinhole Camera

Me and my partner made a pinhole camera from a pringles can with a pinhole in it, with a shutter and some more stuff. We made it by cutting a cardboard box and taped on the cardboard to the pringles can with the pinhole in it. And then we put a shutter so we could control when we want it to close. And we put a sheet of photo paper in it and after that we removed the shutter for 1 minute and then closed the shutter so the film could develop.
