Abstract Photos-Due Dec 18

Abstract photographer - Ted Van Cleave


The Abstract art movement of the 1930's focused more on the composition of art elements (color, line, form, texture, etc.) than an recognizable object. For your next series of 4 pictures, your challenge is to make 4 strong compositions focusing on the use of color and line/shape/texure. The subject you are photographing does not have to be recognizable, in fact it is probably better if it isn't, but there should be one area that is in focus. Your formative grade will be based on:

-well-focused focal point
-composition (focal point/balance/movement...Remember, abstract places a heavy importance on one or more of the elements)
-use of color & light (PS alterations)
-comments-In your favorite one, tell us why and which element of art is dominant, also any alternations in PS
