Warm-Up: 

Answer in your HEAD - 

What makes a photo "Good"?

Daily Learning Target(s):  

• I will learn to take better pictures - even with a crappy camera
• I can prepare my phone for the photo unit

"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: 

• Setting up your phone correctly is the MOST important first step (but we won't be doing it today!)
• We will be at The SPOT the day we return from Thanksgiving Break
• Spanish Blog

Photo Unit Reminders:

• John will mock your angled pictures unless you can tell him why you angled your phone

Agenda: [60]

• What Make a photo "Good"? [05]
• The Photographic Eye [35]
• Having an "eye" for photography
• "I do not believe that the photographic eye is something you are born with. I believe it is a learned way of seeing the world through a lens. Those who are out there that feel as though they do not have an artistic bone in their body – have hope. It wasn’t until someone gave me a boost of confidence(perhaps false confidence?) that I was ready to take on the challenge of photography. The photographic eye is simple. It is recognizing situations where the elements of art come together in a frame. It is opening your eyes a little wider and really paying attention to the details of the world around you."
• The "Rule of Thirds"
• "The rule of thirds is a good one for beginners to learn because it will get you ready to understand some of the more complex things you can do with composition. It’s pretty simple too. Always place your main subject in a part of the frame where the top, bottom, left, or right thirds meet. It won’t always create a photo that’s visually interesting, but it will do so more often than not."
• The "Golden Spiral"  & The Fibonacci Sequence & The Fibonacci Sequence in Nature & Art & Music

• Volume
• This is a trick born of the digital age - it costs you nothing but time to take a LOT of pictures, and the more you take the better chance you have of getting THE ONE.  It also allows you to experiment and take three similar but different pictures.
• Editing
• Because of rule 3 you need rule 4.
• Examples from one of the greatest...
• Learning from a master [20]
• Henri Cartier-Bresson_ The Decisive Moment  [19:00]
• "[Photography] is an immediate sketch, done with intuition and you can't [really] correct it..." Henri Cartier-Bresson
• Photography is an ART - there is no "right or wrong" unless you have a client
• There are "rules" that help you SEE and MAKE good images
• Setting up Google Photos on your phone [20]
• Automatic backup (selective)
• Back-up to your personal Google account
• Saves storage space on your phone
• Easy to create and share albums of your work

MON: Hella hEAlthy #2 @ THE SPOT

The Spot is a collaborative youth center in Oakland Chinatown that supports comprehensive positive youth development to prevent violence and foster healthy transitions into adulthood. 

The Spot offers programs and activities that build young people’s competence in multiple areas, as well as develop their confidence, connection to people and institutions, character, and compassion. The theme of the youth center is “Ready for the Future” and The Spot’s culturally attuned activities will include tiered mentorship, leadership roles, and internships for youth to gain knowledge and skills in health and wellness, history and culture, job training/college readiness, and leadership. Instead of merely being a space with co-located services, The Spot will be coordinated to provide a web of support and opportunities for youth and young adults. This web of support requires both a strong infrastructure for administrative as well as program coordination plus anchor partners with youth development expertise in program provision in the content areas.
