WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Leading Lines in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Leading lines are important to use as they help to create a flow within your composition. The easier it is for a viewer to look at your picture the better. Leading lines naturally take the viewer on a journey around the photo.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
For Part 1 of assignment...

The Assignment...
The Assignment...
For this assignment, you will need to take several photographs with Leading Lines. Pick several DIFFERENT subjects to photograph. With EACH subject, take different perspectives/angles!
You will photograph at least SIX (6) DIFFERENT Leading line subjects!
(you will only be turning in 3 of your best images)
Explore the subject. Take different perspectives. Not every shot will work!
YOU choose what you are shooting! Do NOT just copy these ideas! Be creative!

Yes or no????
To make it more interesting, include as your subject something that demonstrates one other element or principle of design!
A leading line will move your eye as it creates a SHAPE.
A leading line made from a TEXTURE will move your eye to the subject.
Use contrast in your leading lines to direct the viewer to the subject.
A leading line made from a PATTERN will move your eye to the subject.
The elements are endless!
