Photo Story Proposals:
Things to think about: Make sure the photo story is interesting and the person that the story is on, is actually something people want to hear about. The person should have some special events that make it interesting for us to see. We need to respect peoples privacy and personal lives. Having stories close to home are much better than having to travel. Traveling makes these stories much harder. Having feed back from the class really improves the overall story. Need to be careful of respecting peoples privacy and health.

Landscape and City Scape Critic:

The use of lighting and angles seems to be a big theme for the class. Reptition of colors and elements make an interesting composition. Technical details often make or break the photo. Be very care full and take time to look at a scene before the photo is taken. Some people can focus on trees and branches instead of buildings. When taking pictures of trees make sure the light lends itself to define the structure. If you have a photo of interesting people doing interesting things but is technically weak, it can still work because of the emotional connection to the subject. Reflections added interest to the photo. Use cropping to keep the focus where you want it. Adding people or cars adds interest to landscapes. Taking photos in interesting weather makes more interesting photos. Using color often makes photos more interesting.

The internet has basically changed everything about our lives. Our lives are still being changed by it to this day. It has created so many news ways to share and exchange information that our world many never be the same. So no, I don’t think the internet has made art any less prominent in our culture. In fact I believe that the internet has allowed for the creation of new kinds of art. The best example of that would be any many-to-many project out there now. Those projects would not exist with out the internet. Also with new culture came new ways to create art. Not only has the internet changed art, other technology have allowed for the evolution of art.

Its also very interesting to think about how every culture thinks about art in different ways. It makes sense because most cultures do not value the same thing so thus why would their art be the same? They way people are raised often changed how people see art. It would be very interesting to see how different cultures and different time periods have changed the definition of art.
