National Geographic Daily Dozen

Each week day, National Geographic posts 12 of the top photos sent their way from amateur international photographers. This is a great way to learn about our world and gain insight into the photographic skills of others. Although we don't yet have photos from around the world, click here to access our class photo blog.

Quarter One: What have we done lately?

photo by Graphic Communications student, Dargelis H.

We are about halfway through Q1 and so far, in both our A and B week classes, we have:
  • learned how to describe, analyze and reflect upon the elements and principles of composition.
  • written photograph analysis assignments in groups and as an individuals.
  • participated in an on-line scavenger hunt for compelling photographs that reinforced the elements and priniciples of composition.
  • discussed the importance of photographic vision.
  • activated our SlideRocket accounts and created SlideRocket presentations.
  • activated (most of us) our Blog IDs and posted comments to this, our class blog. 
  • discussed rule of thirds, framing visual images and other general rules.
  • scouted potential photo shots for our first photo assignment: texture and repetition.
  • played around with our cameras to become familiar with the general settings.
  • participated in an in-school photography field trip.
So, what's up next? In the next few weeks? Stay tuned! We're just getting started:)
