Happy New Year! There are lots of happenings coming up in the photo classes. First off, the scholastic awards need all entries uploaded by JANUARY 15. I need all those entries by JANUARY 10!! The Scholastic Awards are the biggest and most prestigious competition for high school artworks. I am hoping for lots of entries this year. The links to the guidelines and registration forms are on the side bar. Secondly, the Portland Jazz Festival is doing a project with my Photography 5-6 classes. Students will be making images in response to jazz music and then turning these into "album covers". A panel of judges will look at the work and choose a few of them for display around the city as a promo for the festival.
We just finished up the fabulous food photography unit with some incredible photographs. There will soon be a cookbook produced.
In the Photography 1-2 classes, students are starting to work with Photoshop. In the 3-4 classes, we will be starting on my favorite assignment around light, shadows and reflections. Everything usually comes together for students after this assignment. I am looking forward to seeing some stellar semester portfolios and slideshows from all my classes at the end of first semester. Here are a few recipes and food photos from my 5-6 class.
