Mural Project Preview

I know many of you are very familiar with instagram and some of you use it regularly. But this was a collaboration project that you read about. We will be doing the same thing in class.

On your blog please answer the following questions:

1. Think of at least three ideas you have about what your team could take photos of, that are in the same theme? Be creative, but be realistic. You will be shooting OFF campus, and every member of your team will need to be able to take similar photos or whatever you decide to do as a group.

•  houses with decorations
• light sources (lamp, light poles, flashlight)
• clouds (weather or interesting clouds)
• food dishes (can be cultural/traditional or fast food)

---------------other less interesting options---------

• big and small rocks
• different kinds of plants (weeds, flowers, grass)
• variety of chairs   

2. You will be using the school cameras or your own similar camera. You will need to shoot in Manual. What are three things you will have to think about when you are out shooting?

• Rule of Thirds  (basic rule to make image look good)
• Simplicity (for focus)
•  Balance (no lopsided-ness)

3. Although we have always done this assignment as a paper/printed product. I am interested in being able to show off these images/creations/murals online. What are some ideas you have on how to get these pieces onto the internet? List three ideas and how you would suggest to your team this second product gets created.
