What is 'Free Response': 
Each day we will start the class responding to a photograph. The photograph may relate to the lesson of the day or maybe a current or historical event. The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about the power of a photograph and what makes a photograph 'good' or interesting. Spending time deeply examining one image allows you to dissect its content (subject matter, technique, composition).You may respond to the image however you feel most comfortable- drawing, writing or a combination. You should work to fill the page in the ten minute time period, and if you 'finish' early- keep going and ask yourself what more do I see.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

To turn-in, use the table in the document provided and place each image in the appropriate box. Write one sentence (or more if needed) to explain in what way your image uses the technique. Turn in when complete.

SHOOTING ASSIGNMENT:
Following the ‘Photo Pass’ rules, you will explore the Quads (main & V) and take pictures showing the following techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the technique you may look it up- but that will cost you time. Images should be original, show variety of subjects, and be compositionally and technically well executed. Edit using 'Snapseed' or similar photo editing app.

Techniques to find: 
Bird’s Eye View
Ant’s (worm’s) Eye View
Direct Approach
Tight Framing
Wide Framing
Natural Frame
Rule of Thirds
Golden Ratio
Silhouette
Reflection
Leading Lines
Dutch Angle
