Students in Photo 1 at PHS were recently presented with the challenge of shooting digital photos to create abstract designs based on architectural structures. They emphasized simple elements such as line, shape, color, and contrast to create some bold designs. We also looked at the work of Ted Van Cleave for inspiration http://tedvancleave.com/architecturephotography.htm
Here are some of the photos from PHS

After creating their face, students applied contrast by creating a bold pattern using sharpie markers and then embellishing with a 3D material such as puffy paint, feathers, or ribbon. Here are some of the designs:
