To learn how to identify the principles of composition in photography, it's helpful to look for examples of how photographer's use them all over the world, everyday. Create a 2-3 page sketchbook entry in which you neatly cut out and paste clear, high-quality visual examples of each of these photographic principles. Here's what you must include for a 40 point grade!
1) You must include the entire image, no cutting into it or cropping.
2) You need to find two different examples of each principle of composition for a total of 16 images!
2) High quality images = no pixelation, and each must be larger than 3" in one direction.
3) Neatly cut out and carefully pasted/glued into your sketchbook. Label each principle of composition with it's name, (see examples above)and write the source from which you found the image, (artist's name, magazine title, etc.)
4) Explanation-identify what you see in the photograph that demonstrates this compositional principle.
