Composition in Photography Research Assignment

1. Go to the pickup folder to find the Compositional Tools powerpoint presentation. 

2. Briefly review it, or watch it thoroughly if you haven't seen it and CHOOSE 5 of the compositional tools that intrigue you to research further.

3. Go to Google Images and search for each of the 5 compositional tools. Look for a strong example of each of the 5 tools that you have chosen. Try to find photographs that take your breath away, are visually impactful and interesting and BEST DEMONSTRATE THAT COMPOSITIONAL TOOL!!

4. Post these images in one single blog post on YOUR BLOG - titled COMPOSITION IN PHOTOGRAPHY OR create a powerpoint with the same title.

5. Each photography MUST be labelled with a subtitle of the appropriate compositional tool.

6. Write a brief sentence or two that justifies why you chose that photo and why it's a great example of that compositional tool.
