Project 1: Color Harmonies

DESCRIPTION

Using the photographic medium, develop a series of six photographs demonstrating examples of the six color harmonies discussed in lecture: complementary, analogous, accented analogous, triad, split complimentary, and tetrad. The six photographs should hold together as series using common thematic elements or subject matter. You may photograph scenes from your everyday environment or you may choose to arrange elements to photograph.

PROCESS

1. Photo Sketch: exploration to find your subject. Test all six of the color harmonies, incorporating the use of the following in at least one image each:
– selective focus (shallow depth-of-field)
– all sharp focus (deep depth-of-field)
– motion blur
*Be ready next class to project your images.

2. Refine Set: using feedback from critique, refine your photographic set, reshooting and replacing photos as necessary.

3. Presentation: produce a keynote slideshow to present your final set, using the provided keynote template. Be prepare to project your keynote in class. For each photo in the set, sample color swatches of the color harmonies used. Your keynote will have a total of seven slides, as outlined below:
– overview with all six photos tiled onto one slide
– complementary
– analogous
– accented analogous
– triad
– split complimentary
– tetrad
