Narrative

Reflection

At the end of semester 1 I told myself that I would set my own deadlines and be more creative with the assignments. With that being said I did not achieve my goals and have fallen on a slump. With track going on and other classes, I got really busy and had forgotten about some of the assignments.  I definitely could have done better with time management and will continue to work on it to get some more motivation to do all assignments to my best ability.

letter to the past

  To past Sophia, as you are taking Creative Photography make sure that you are trying your best in everything. Whether it is getting your assignments on time, take your time with each project, or not going with your first idea. This way you can get a better outcome. By doing the opposite, you will not get a good photo. With that being said that also goes for using as much class time needed to get your work done. When it comes to taking photos take a bunch of different photos for one assignment so you can get a variety to choose from. When taking the actual photo, make sure to check the brightness, exposure and what you are focusing on. You should never go with your first idea as well. These tips will help improve your photo taking.

      The photo below, is a previous artwork done for the midterm exam. I like this photo the most out of every other assignment because mainly I did not go with my first thought. I dug deeper to get an interesting topic to do with the paper. I ended up making a parachute and having a little paper man attached to it. It fulfilled the assignment because it was creative way to use paper in a photo. In order to take the photo, I had someone drop the parachute and I proceeded to take photos as it fell down using different angles and dozens of shots. 

Forced perspective

Importance of Art

     
       
      In this quote it explains the perspective some individuals have on art. They see it as a waste rather than a potential career. Almost as it is just an elective rather than a form of expressing and helping people. In general, American tax dollars go to taking care of other Americans. They pay for technology, education, and to services that all benefit people. Nothing about the arts.

    There are plenty of debates about whether or not arts should be included in the American Tax dollar. Some say it should be included because of the reflection and awareness it shows. By funding national art programs to increase society knowledges. Other say that it just not needed to be included.

  In my opinion, I believe that the art classes in high school are ways students can express themselves. Having these kinds of programs allow students to either help them if that's the kind of career they want to pursue or simply do it for fun as a way of expressing and taking a break from all of the core classes they take. If they kinds of programs were funded then it would allow the students to do more with the subject.
