The photo project incorporating elements and principles of art using PhotoBucket was a great way to re-enforce these topics. While scanning my house for items to snap photos of I found myself looking at things differently. I also had to keep referring to the reading in the textbook to try to understand these concepts more. Through this process I found that a lot of my pictures would certainly encompass more than one element or principle. Using Photobucket was a little more time consuming than I had hoped, but presents several nice options for sharing photos digitally. Some of my favorite element shots were shape, light, and texture. My shape photo is a baby gate that shows distinct lines to create rectangles. For texture, I took a close up of our fireplace broom. I really like how this photo really shows the texture of the bristles. I showed rhythm using an upward view of my staircase. I like how the repeated lines of the stairs shows the repetition. Finally, my favorite, is light. My husband uses a 3D printer for work and the light emitted from this machine really looks neat in the photo.

You have done a great job choosing pictures! I especially love the backpacks, I LOVE Vera Bradley. I also had to keep referring to the reading. I kept confusing elements with principles. I thought that many items/pictures could be used for a lot of the elements or principles. It was difficult deciding which category to place them at times.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the fact that you found different pieces and images that could work for multiple elements. I think that i might have had a similar problem to you, as you look at some of the pieces you can see more than one principle makes it up. I think that all in all you did a really great job!!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job. Vera Bradley is a great example of use of color. The horizontal and vertical elements in the bench are a perfect representation of line. I also felt like after focusing on this project, I saw things differently. After finishing it, I was seeing all kinds of photo opportunities for the project. Great work!
