You will select 3 of the following list of 9 assignments to complete and post to your blog.  (Make sure you label it with the title when you post it to your blog)  All photos must be from royalty free stock photo sites and/or in the public domain.  Feel free to try out www.loc.gov

The final images should look realistic and be well thought out.  You cannot throw them together and think you are going to get a good grade!


1. Where am I? - Take YOUR OWN self portrait. Then, place yourself in a background where we would not expect to see you!.

2. Tabloid Photo- Take a picture and add something to the picture that wasn't there. (Think about stuff found in tabloids i.e. Batboy or UFOs) It must be realistic looking, but be something unusual!

3. Repetition - Take something from a picture and repeat it to create a new design.  Think about the elements of art and principles of design in this one!

4. Many Me - Take many images of yourself doing different things in the same room. Create a composite photos that combines at least 3 "many me's" into one room/image/location. Note: For this to work, you must leave the camera STILL for all photos.  A tripod works best.

5. Surrealism - An art movement started in Paris around 1924 based on ideas of expressing the unconscious. An aspect of this movement was to combine objects that had nothing to do with one another into one image. Create an image which combines two or more things that would not ordinarily go together. Google "Surrealism" to get some inspiration.  View the artwork of Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali.

6. Who's in school? - Take a picture of a familiar place in the school corridor or classroom and put someone or something unexpected in the school.

7. Digital Darwin - Create a new animal by combining at least 2 animals into one new creature. Be sure you select a very large image (from http://www.sxc.hu/ ) for your animals, or take your own photos. Be sure to place your new creature in a habitat where it would live.

8. A Monument in the Landscape - Enlarge a normally tiny object (like a small animal, paperclip, etc.) in a picture so that it is now appears to be huge. Use high quality photos.
