Ms. Stride – exemption given (in only doing 6 photos out of 12) due to the completion of Blog Post 4. 

01:
– This image best shows tone/value because it is split into a dark side and a light side. I took this at the ISB Commons when I saw a fake cherry blossom tree filled with Chinese New Year red envelopes. The contrast between the bright flowers and the darker background made the value change really clear, so it matched the drawing well.
02:
– This image best shows shape because the small black square in the upper right corner is surrounded by empty space. I tried to take this from the ceiling because it looked similar, but the angle was too hard to capture and it was almost impossible to make it look clean and well-placed like the drawing.
03:
– This image best shows pattern and texture because the repeated marks fill the whole square. I took this from the cafeteria chairs, and it worked because the small details repeated naturally and created a similar textured pattern like the drawing.
04:
– This image best shows line and pattern because of the thick horizontal stripes. I couldn’t find one that felt interesting enough, since most stripe patterns I saw looked too basic and boring compared to the other photos.
05:
– This image best shows line and pattern because the vertical stripes repeated across the frame. This one was also difficult for the same reason as 04, because the examples I found felt too simple and didn’t seem interesting enough.
06:
– This image best shows shape and value/tone because the dark circle stands out clearly. I took a photo of a random ceiling light in the Design Center, and if you look closely you can see another circle created by the bright glow. That extra circle made the tones and shapes of the image more interesting.
07:
– This image best shows line because the thick lines created a bold grid. I took this image at 798 during our field trip, and it worked well because the lines were strong and matched the drawing almost perfectly.
08:
– This image best shows pattern because of the evenly spaced dots. I struggled with this one and couldn’t find anything that looked close enough in real life.
09:
– This image best shows line and pattern because a thin grid creates an organized look and the only thing I could think of was a Rubik’s cube, but I didn’t end up capturing a photo that matched the drawing clearly.
10:
– This image best shows line and shape because the diagonal shape leads the viewer’s eyes and I took this in the library using the book return box, and it worked because the diagonal line was strong and simple.
11:
– This image best shows shape because the triangle is centered and bold. I took this at 798 as well, during our field trip, and it matched the drawing because the shape was clear and filled the frame.
12:
– This image best shows texture and line because the messy horizontal lines create a rough surface look. I couldn’t find a good example, and the only idea I had in mind was breaking an electric device and photographing it.
