Today we will be working on taking photographs of your artwork and uploading these to your blog. Remember, having a completed blog will count as 2 project grades at the end of the semester, so don't fall behind!!
For those of you who are new, or were out the last day we worked on the weebly blogs, you may want to check out my previous post here . It includes the list of what we previously needed to upload, some tips on taking photographs, as well as a short video on how to upload images to your website. If you need instructions on how to create your blog, download the file at the top of this post.
For today, you will need to take photographs of all your completed projects, sketchbooks, and completed altered books. For a complete list, see below.
With Ceramics, or any 3D sculpture, you need to be sure to include at least 2 view so the viewer can get a better idea of the form and/or how the decoration changes on each side. Also, be sure to photograph so that there is no distracting background!! See some of the samples below:
- Dia de los Muertos skull (at least 2 views)
- Maria Martinez burnished coil vessel (at least 2 views)
- Exposed Coil vessel (at least 2 views)
- Soft Slab Tripod Mug (at least 2 views)
- Sgraffito tile
- Hard- Slab Box (at least 2 views)
On the "sketchbook' page, you should have the following:
- Sketchbook cover
- We have completed 7 sketchbook assignments. At least 5 should be on the blog.
- Photograph practice sketches/ thumbnail sketches you have completed for this page also.
- thumbnail/design sketches for your pieces from above
- practice visual journals
- media exploration pages
