Welcome to Student Photography
Semester 1 - 2021
MRMS Art students began researching the basic art elements & principles as introduction to all future art projects.
We began the photography unit 2021 with basics of editing and using the cropping and other editing options available on most digital cameras (student phones or they used mine).
We then began using art elements of line and shape and principles of balance and pattern to guide our process.

Students have begun to take notes on each unit at the beginning of class. We review expectations and view examples of relevant work from professional photographers as well as student work from previous years in photography/Art class with Ms. Losness. The first week of September 2021 we attempted to use art elements of Line and Shape and art principles of Pattern and Balance (symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial balance).
These are examples of some of the student work from the introduction week of photography using Line, Shape, Pattern and Balance:

During the month of September, students have continued the routine of photography research and brainstorming ideas before going outside and around the school grounds to experiment with the new techniques and methods discussed in class.
After the initial introduction to the Elements and Principles of Art, we continued study of photography by exploring Balance in our compositions. Students learned about 3 types of Balance and took photos using symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial balance.
