According to the Principles and Elements of Design:

Line is a mark with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.

For next week’s photo challenge, you will take ONE PRACTICE IMAGE AND ONE FINAL IMAGE that use LEADING LINES TO CREATE DEPTH IN AN IMAGE.  So as you walk around this week, look at the world around you, LEADING lines are everywhere, and not just in the student parking lot. Barbed wire fences are lines, so are chalk drawings you draw yourself. Look at all the different ways.  played with lines, now you can too!!!!

Remember before you shoot, think about the following items.

1. Think outside the box -your first idea might be original, or it might be the first thing everyone thinks about.

2. Put your own spin on things – the more you bring your own personality, culture, life experience, quirks, etc, the more the viewer will get that a real person is trying to talk to them through a photograph.

3. Make a list of what you want to shoot BEFORE you go out and shoot. Always have a plan, man.

ONE Practice photo will be due on Wednesday, September 28th . ONE Final Photo will be due on Friday, September 30th .

After viewing the above photos, reply to the questions below using complete sentences as a comment to THIS POST.

Where does the magic lie in these photographs? Is Photoshop the answer? Or is it in the way these items are arranged? What happens when we go to long lengths to create a visual effect, when we put in the work of painstakingly arranging several objects like they do in these photographs? What could you take out of these photos to apply to your own photography?
