This week we took bad photos on purpose, whether that's to learn a lesson or to an easy way for Ms. Underwood for say "look how much my students have improved," well that's for time to tell. It was too easy to finish all these photos because I didn't have to worry about anything. Once I got down to the last few photos it was annoying to make sure I was hitting on one of the 5 different "bad photos." I guess it was enjoyable but I like when I have to climb or fit myself in the perfect angle to get a beautiful shot, this wasn't as challenging.
Oh my gosh I just laughed at this-- it actually is a lesson that forces students to play with the controls of the camera and to not be afraid of them. They don't end up a part of the 'look how much my students have improved' equation. What does, however, is how they started class not knowing anything about the camera controls, and how after this assignment they have a better understanding... but the proof is in the future works.
ReplyDeleteThe assignments will become as challenging as you want them to become. Straight Photography is all about the light, I think this is the most challenging assignment in Photo 1... let me know how it goes.
