Assignment:
Print and mount 9 photographs that explore line, texture
and pattern in the world around you. Use both wide angle
and macro modes in your work. Criteria for Success: Your work should show experimentation with composition, macro camera settings, wide-angle lens settings, use of depth of field to limit and expand focus, use of GIMP tools as appropriate.  Eye
Candy! - We're looking images that will catch your eye.
You'll find examples of lines, patterns and texture in
everyday places. Use them to create strong images with lots
of contrast.In this photograph the window frame literally frames the image of the patterns on the roof. Using one object to frame another is a great way to add depth to your photos. Experiment with a frame that adds contrast in terms of light or texture when compared with your subject.  This
photograph used the macro function of the camera to capture
the texture of an everyday object, tire tread. I enhanced
the image with more contrast and the sharpen filter. You'll
find lots of examples of lines, patterns and texture on
cars. The macro setting on your camera will let you focus
on objects only inches away.
This photo by Taylor used simple objects. How many ways
can you find pattern in this photograph? How many kinds
of texture can you find? Use the macro mode of your
camera to explore lines and texture in small objects and
don't be afraid to create your own arrangements.
 A GREAT place to go for this assignment is the art room. Here's just one example from Perla's photostream on Flickr.   This
photograph uses objects in a line. You'll have to scout
around for these images but keep your photographic mind's
eye open and you'll find them!
