A Camera in Every Pocket
Question: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?
I believe that the vast advancements in cameras on cellular devices has expanded the abilities of taking incredible photos. The use of great cameras on phones have given people a more simple, hand-held way of working in the field of photography, being that they are smaller than the large, bulky cameras that the majority of professional photographers use.

Principles of Art & Design cont.
Example:
Design 1...........Rhythm+Balance
Design 2...........Rhythm+Emphasis
Design 3...........Rhythm+Proportion
Post your compositions to your Blog.

To continue your study of composition in Photography, you will extend what you did in the last assignment by combining those same Principles into 3 different compositions.
Again you will be using Photo Booth images, again the dimensions will be 7" x 7" @ 300ppi, and again you will label each composition you create when posting it to your Blog.

Procedure
Select one Principle form the list of Principles below (only from the orange-highlighted ones) and combine it in a design with three other Principles. You will make three separate designs based on the three combinations.
Example:
Design 1...........Rhythm+Balance
Design 2...........Rhythm+Emphasis
Design 3...........Rhythm+Proportion
Post your compositions to your Blog.
List of Principles
Rhythm: A principle of design that indicates movement, created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to cause a visual tempo or beat.
Balance: A way of combining elements to add a feeling of
equilibrium or stability to a work of art. Major types are
symmetrical and asymmetrical.
Emphasis (Contrast):
A way of combining elements to stress the differences
between those elements.
Proportion: A principle of design that refers to the relationship of certain elements to the whole and to each other.
Gradation: A way of combining elements by using a series of gradual changes in those elements. (large shapes to small shapes, dark hue to light hue, etc)
Harmony: A way of combining similar elements in an artwork to accent their similarities (achieved through use of repetitions and subtle gradual changes)
Variety: A principle of design concerned with diversity or
contrast. Variety is achieved by using different shapes,
sizes, and/or colors in a work of art.
Movement: A principle of design used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide the viewer’s eye throughout the work of art.
Unity (Gestalt): Unity creates an integrated image in which all the elements are working together to support the design as a whole. A unified design is greater than the sum of its parts.

Elements of Art & Design
Line: An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.
Shape: An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width.
Form: An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free flowing.
Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is the lightest value; black is the darkest. The value halfway
between these extremes is called middle gray.
Space: An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art .
Color: An element of art made up of three properties: hue, value and intensity.
• Hue: name of color
• Value: hue’s lightness and darkness (a color’s value
changes when white or black is added)
• Intensity: quality of brightness and purity (high
intensity= color is strong and bright; low intensity=
color is faint and dull)
Texture: An element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched.
