Thinking competency

I can get new ideas or reinterpret others’ ideas in a novel way

Reflection

In the assignment we had to recreate a black and white photo. We had to learn how to correctly use our exposure to convey a message without color. We also had to use our understanding of the elements of art and principle of design to help tell the story. With this photo we had to reinterpret a girl studying. I had to come up with ways to have the scene be similar and also have the light come through at the right spot and amount. It was hard to do correctly and it took several tries in different locations to get the perfect photo. I used my peers idea to get a better idea of how to get good lighting that would match the photo. In the final photo you can see how we used lines and shapes as elements of art, we also used balance as principle of design. At the end we used each others ideas to edit in a few minor things we missed from the original photo and got a result we were both happy with.
