That's right.
You're going to go out and take 30 photos of whichever combination of any assignment that we've done thus far.
Any of the 6 Rules of Composition, 5 Angles, or the Color Wheel Assignment.
This is being assigned to you because of the glorious weather that persists during this, the first official week of Fall.
Create an Album in iPhoto and label it "30 Photos".
These photos cannot be anything that you've photographed up to this point. They must all be taken by the beginning of class on Monday, when I'll be checking off this assignment.
I have ways of finding out when you've taken your photos, so don't try and pull a fast one on me by turning in photos that were taken prior to today's date. I'll know.
"Muw-ha-ha-ha!" Manically chuckles Mr Ballew.
You will be organizing these 30 Photos into a Contact Sheet in Photoshop CS3 first thing on Monday.
So, do it!
Do it now!

Putting the Color Wheel to Work
Today you're going to demonstrate your mastery of the Color Wheel by showcasing it in your photography.
If you haven't read the reading assignment from Monday, you'll have to do that before you go out to shoot in today's beautiful weather.
Today you'll be going out and photographing examples of PRIMARY, SECONDARY, and TERTIARY Colors.
Your task at hand is to find 5 examples of each color category. This means that you could take 5 photos of objects that are blue. However, YOU CANNOT PHOTOGRAPH ONE OBJECT/SUBJECT MORE THAN ONCE. (EXAMPLE - YOU CANNOT TAKE PHOTOS WITH THE BLUE SKY IN THE BACKGROUND AND USE THAT FOR EACH EXAMPLE OF PRIMARY COLOR.)
You'll then find and photograph 5 objects/subjects that have color schemes based on ANALOGOUS COLOR and 5 objects/subjects that have COMPLIMENTARY COLOR.
When you're done, create Albums in iPhoto for PRIMARY, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, ANALOGOUS, and COMPLIMENTARY colors.
Drag the appropriate photos into the corresponding Albums.
These photos will be used in your very first Photoshop assignment on Friday, so make sure that you have all of these photos taken by then.

The 6 Rules of Composition
Please click on the link to this website and read through ALL of the 'Guidelines for Beginning Photographic Composition.'
You will use these guidelines to critique your classmate's photos.
This material will also be included on your next test.

Once you have finished reading this assignment, I want you to look online and find one famous photographer. This can be a photographer you are already aware of, or you can merely do a Google Search for 'Famous Photographers' under 'Image Search'.
I will be going around the room and asking random students what you have found.
