Please make sure that all students sign into the computers. For those that are unable to sign up due to password issues, please have another student log them in so they can work on this assignment.

Note: Do not search for the composition tips and find the photos that come up. You MUST only use the above three links provided and select photos that you think are great, and that match the different composition tips from the video. I have listed them again below, but feel free to watch the video over again or google any of the composition tips for more in depth information.

1. Rule of Thirds
2. Leading lines
3. Diagonal lines
4. Framing

6. Fill the Frame
7. Center the Dominant Eye
8. Patterns and Repetition
9. Interrupted pattern
10. Symmetry

3. ASSIGNMENT: Create a google slide presentation for 5 of the above compositional techniques

Title Page should state:

Composition in Photography
Your Name

Each slide should have a headline identifying the composition rule and the two photos you have selected to help identify it. Write a brief sentence at the bottom of each photograph explaining why you think that photo best demonstrates that particular compositional tip AND what you like about the photo.
10 marks  - 1 for each photo that is correctly selected and identified (Knowledge/Understanding)
10 marks -  1 for each sentence that correctly justifies the choice of photos. (Bonus marks for further discussion about the photos) (Communication)
