General Project DetailsStudents will take their own photograph of themselves or may use a photo of someone else in the class. The photo composition should focus on using a different vantage point and show space. It's important that the composition have a definitive foreground and background, and displays space and perspective. Students will need to be creative in the set up of the composition and avoid typical points of view - straight on, profile, etc. Consider bird's eye and worm's eye views, as well as foreshortening. Medium: pencil.
