QUARTER 1 Assignments!

What are ABSTRACTIONS?

A new way of seeing...

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Abstractions in Photography

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning how to capture moments from different viewpoints, which can be interpreted by different viewers in several different ways is important. Being able to capture images demonstrates what you are capable of developing. Exploring creative photography comes down to different abilities to try new avenues within photography.

Students: "I will be able to photograph everyday objects from unique viewpoints to create interesting abstract images that make the viewer see the subject differently."

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!

Remember to zoom in and fill the frame!

Using the masks

Remember on the mask of an adjustment layer (make sure it is selected), we can add black to conseal what we are adjusting!

Black=Conseals

Make sure your adjustment layers are ON the TOP in the layers panel so that any other alterations (spot healing etc) are adjusted also!
