They are: 2. Make sure the images you use are large and clear. (no blurry, enlarged thumbnails) 3. Accuracy counts. Accuracy includes: (a). Correct names of people, places, things, (b). Use specific terms. Don't present something you do not understand. If you need help, ASK ME, (c). <span style="color: rgb(19, 66, 119);">Correct spelling. <span style="color: rgb(19, 66, 119);"> 4. Speak clearly 5. Most Importantly: Your presentation is about what YOU think of the artist and his/her work. USE EXAMPLES. BE SPECIFIC. Look carefully at the photographs. What comparisons can you make? What do you think the artist was trying to say? What color palette does the artist use? Does the color have anything to do with the message they want to communicate? **--<span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(31, 147, 173);"> <span style="font-size: 135%; color: rgb(20, 79, 93);"> <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);"> THURSDAY, February 12, 2009 : <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);">ANSWER QUESTIONS  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">|  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);"> TAKE PORTRAITS  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">|  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);">CHOOSE AN ARTIST  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">| <span style="color: rgb(28, 177, 233);"> -- <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);"> CHOOSE AN ARTIST Presentations will be due Thursday, February 19 <span style="color: rgb(28, 177, 233);"> You should view artist video clips and choose an artist TODAY. --<span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(31, 147, 173);"> <span style="font-size: 135%; color: rgb(20, 79, 93);"> <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);"> WEDNESDAY, February 11, 2009 : <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);">ANSWER QUESTIONS  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">|  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);"> TAKE PORTRAITS  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">|  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(110, 192, 27);">CHOOSE AN ARTIST  <span style="font-size: 150%; color: rgb(20, 93, 49);">| <span style="color: rgb(28, 177, 233);"> -- 1.

To go beyond the body language and capture the mind at work .To feel their thoughts.

Your assignment is to take 2 portrait photographs of someone. One photo will include the person's face. The other photo will not. Experiment with Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO. When you are finished you must have evidence of the following: 1. A photo taken with a fast shutter speed and a slow shutter speed. (In Shutter Speed Priority Mode) 2. A photo taken with a wide aperture setting and one with a small aperture setting. (In Aperture Priority Mode) 3. A photo taken with a high ISO setting and one with a low ISO setting.** IMPORTANT As you're shooting you should note what your fast and slow shutter speeds are, what your aperture settings are and your ISO settings. See this example
 * You should upload these 6 photos to your Wiki and label them.

 * 2.** What is an exposure?

3. What is an aperture?

4. What are the aperture settings called?

5. What is shutter speed?

6. What's the difference between fast and slow shutter speed?

7. What is ISO?

8. If you are shooting on a bright, sunny day would you set the ISO to 100 or 1600?
