The Alphabet Project - for Photography Students
The Alphabet
Project
 |
| (Photography credits: the above sample photographs were taken by a variety of NCCU students) |
Clover Garden’s Photography students are at the beginning of
a project that, if done well, will allow them to leave behind a legacy of their
talents and efforts for future students to enjoy in years to come. The goal is to
produce 26 skillfully composed images of everyday objects. Each photograph will
resemble one letter of the alphabet. The goal is to create photographs that are
clever and unique, and at the same time, it should be obvious as to which
letter is represented. Each photograph should also be, in itself, a work of art.
Remember, this is a project designed for advanced art students, and making use
of the knowledge you have about the elements and principles of art and how they
apply to photography, will be necessary in order to be successful.
In order to review the elements and principles of art and
design, please follow this link to read the article by Megan Kennedy on “How to
Use the 7 Principles of Art and Design in Photography”.
Each student
has been assigned 5 different letters. After spring break I would like you to begin posting some of the Alphabet Photos on Google Classroom.
Each week pick one of your 5 letters and post 3 practice shots of things that resemble this letter onto Google Classroom. (If you have any trouble uploading your pictures to the online classroom you are welcome to email them directly to me and I will move them onto the Photography Goole Classroom). This will give myself and your classmates a chance to provide feedback before you select which one will be the final product.
1st set of 3 practice photos due: Friday, April 17th
2nd set of 3 practice photos due: Friday, April 24th
3rd set of 3 practice photos due: Friday, May 1st
4th set of 3 practice photos due: Friday, May 8th
5th set of 3 practice photos due: Friday, May 15th.
Post your favorite letter from each set of three onto your blog by May 18th.
By May 18th, everyone will have completed all 5, I will then print and display them all (including mine to make all 26 letters)
