www.bced.gov.ca/sat_survey/access.htm
I will give you a special # assigned just for you.

There are 2 sections, after section 1, it will say thank-you + then there are a few more question.

12 Still Life

Texture, Glass, Metal Stil Life

You are to create three studio still life compositions using metal, glass and textured objects. Compose a series of photos for each object; include backgrounds, a table and covering, and use one or two lights. Be creative with your objects, consider the compositions, backgrounds, exposures, depth of field (you are the art director, photographer and technician). For each you are to set-up your lighting carefully. Try different lighting techniques to gain a greater understanding of lighting styles. Try to vary the lighting intensity to vary the depth of field. Brighter lights= more in focus. Remember compostition techniques and be creative to make your simple objects extraordinary!

Contact Sheet(s) and 3 Prints Due April 19 in your Portfolio.
