First we played a game called the elaboration game. The purpose of this game was to take a closer look at some portrait examples. We learned about four different styles of portrait photography. For each one we created a list of what was needed to take a successful shot.
We enjoyed using our creativity to compose our own portraits. Some of us selected locations outside, while others set up a scene inside the classroom. We worked in pairs or small groups to capture a variety of photographs.
To add another dimension to our portrait collage we did some close up perspective sketching. We used the iPad to zoom in on our eye. This allowed us to look closer and create a more detailed sketch.
Next was the editing stage. We learned about cropping our photos and adding filters for effect. The final step was to add our photographs into a grid. For this, we used the iPad app, pic collage.
Everyones digital portrait shows all four portrait styles plus a close perspective pencil sketch. It was interesting observing everyones finished project. They all looked very unique and eye catching.
Next time you're near Koru 1, come on in to have a look.
