WED/THU: Photowalk I - The Rule of Thirds

NO Computers

"[Photography] is an immediate sketch, done with intuition, 

and you can't [really] correct it..." 

Henri Cartier-Bresson

YOU must take pictures today 

and for each

you must be able to explain WHY you took it

Daily Learning Target(s):  

• I can take multiple photos that demonstrate the RULE OF THIRDS
• I will learn to take better pictures - even with a crappy camera

Homework:  

• Take photos... If you LIKE the photos you take can you explain WHY you like them more than just talking about liking the subject of the photo?

Announcements: 

• We are going out EVERY WEEK DURING THIS UNIT to take pictures - you MUST have or borrow a properly set-up phone 
• We will be at The SPOT for our final lesson on Friday

Photo Unit Reminders:

• John will mock your angled pictures unless you can explain to him why you angled your phone
• All photos taken must be ONLINE @ PHOTOS.GOOGLE.COM before the next class - we do NOT upload our cell phone photos in class.
• Use a selfie to demarcate photographers when sharing a phone

Agenda: 

• Photowalk [100]
• Your GOAL is to take multiple pictures that demonstrate the Rule of Thirds
• The Rule of Photo Walks [10]
• You MUST be able to see JOHN @ ALL TIMES
• You MAY NOT be more than 1/2 block away from John, who will try to walk in the middle of the pack
• You MUST NOT CROSS ON RED.  I will give you an NC if you jaywalk.  Just wait for the green.  We will wait for you.
• YOU must take pictures today and YOU must be able to explain WHY you took it 
• You MAY NOT go inside ANY business or building - even if they say you can [do NOT ask]
• You may not sit on any cars, climb on any walls, or otherwise do anything but walk on the sidewalk unless John specifically tells YOU that you can.
• You MAY take a picture of anyone or anything you can see from outside
• It is polite to ask permission if you want to take someone's picture. If they are the SUBJECT of the picture then ask.
• If they are just "in the picture" and it isn't "of them" then permission is not necessary and will slow you down.
• You are ENCOURAGED to leave your stuff in the Lab - the door will be locked.
• Walk [90]
• Approximate Route (1.9 Miles, 39 minutes walking without stopping to shoot pictures)
