Photograph one everyday object from three viewpoints or light angles.
Keep it in focus and look for a cast shadow.
Add all three images to a new Adobe Express page titled - "2 - Directional Light."
Circle or label your strongest image and explain how the light reveals its form.

2.1 Noticing Form In Photography

cynthiaalexis000 — 2026-10-05 13:13:17 UTC

We are looking at how light and shadow make an object look three-dimensional.
On your worksheet, draw one simple object as an outline and then draw it again with a highlight, middle values, and a shadow.
Take a photo of worksheet and add to the adobe assignment

Unit 2 Workbook

cynthiaalexis000 — 2026-10-05 13:37:19 UTC

This unit, titled "Form, Value & Texture to Print," guides students through an art process that bridges photography and traditional printmaking.

Students begin by exploring how directional light creates form, volume, and value on surfaces, taking photos to capture various textures. They then select their strongest photos to design a balanced 3"x3" texture grid, which is translated into printable black-and-white plans.

Finally, students safely carve their design into a relief block, produce proofs, refine their work based on results, and create a final relief print.

2.4 - Control Exposure

cynthiaalexis000 — 2026-10-05 13:41:22 UTC

When we photograph an object, texture is created by micro-shadows.

If your photo is too bright, the highlights blow out and details disappear.
If it is too dark, the details get swallowed by deep shadows.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

CAMERA SETTINGS
Photograph the same subject at three exposure settings by tapping or adjusting the camera exposure control.
Add to Adobe doc. 3 images common size
Compare the images for detail in the brightest and darkest parts. Select one with readable form.
Record which exposure you chose and why. Keep all three images as process evidence.

Before submitting your page link, look closely at your brightest and darkest images to answer the exit question:

REFLECTION:

"What detail disappeared in the brightest or darkest version?" (click to answer)

Look for "clipped highlights" where texture turned into solid, featureless white, or "muddy shadows" where details turned into solid, featureless black.

1.1 Photography Vocabulary + Visual Analysis

Goal: Build visual literacy by explaining terms in student words and evaluating photographer choices in a masterwork image.

Reflection:

What did you notice in a photograph today that you might not have noticed before? (click to answer)

1.2

cynthiaalexis000 — 2026-10-05 14:42:40 UTC

Goal: Identify the basic parts and controls of a DSLR camera before handling one. Seated Camera-Labeling

Observe: Study the DSLR camera diagram provided by your teacher. Do not use a camera yet. Label: Locate and label these parts on the diagram: lens, shutter button, viewfinder, LCD screen, mode dial, camera body, grip, and neck-strap attachment.

CLASSWORK

Match: Connect each camera part to its purpose.
Plan: Draw a frame around a subject you would photograph. Mark where your focus point would be and label the camera angle you would use.

Predict: Describe how a lighter exposure, darker exposure, or tighter crop could change the photograph.

Exit Reflection: Which camera part or setting do you most want to practice when you begin using the DSLR, and why?

1.3

cynthiaalexis000 — 2026-10-05 14:42:53 UTC

Goal: Isolate and emphasize leading lines and 2D shapes in the school environment.

DSLR Adaptation: Use viewfinder framing to align architectural lines or geometric
shadow shapes.

Shoot 3 line photos and 3 shape photos, altering camera angle and crop so the assigned element dominates the frame.

CHECKPOINT | Three texture photographs and a tactile/visual comparison.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

1 Examine classroom objects and describe how their surfaces would feel. Then compare close photographs of the same materials.

2 Make a two-column list of tactile descriptions and visual clues, such as scratches, fibers, ridges, or pores.

3 Photograph at least three accessible surfaces without touching or moving anything unsafe.
