 * Year 9s** read below.

1. Take photos of portraits but there's a catch: a. they must not look at the camera - Try with a clean background, no interfering objects. b. they must show some kind of emotion - you work it out with the person. c. take portraits of each other. d. play with lights and shadows as with the portraits on the back of the classroom - these make the shots give it some good dramatic effects. 2. Take some colour shots of the above and convert them to Black & White but play around with the black & white settings. 3. Use some of your shots and convert them to back and white and maybe use a spot colour to bring out a particular object. 4. NEXT week: Bring some objects from home. Eg. toys, dried flowers, something you want to sell, plastic flowers, fruit, etc. || Week6 ||
