AP Photo Emphasis Assignment #2: Tiny Illustrations       Due Thursday, 2-25-16

2/22/2016

 
Students, this week you will create five tiny works of art as you respond to the prompts below.  As we have done in the past weeks, you will need to create a Word document in your OneDrive account and paste in the prompts you will be using.  Create the artwork in Photoshop (file>new>4 x 4 inches, 180 resolution), and upload the images to fit with your chosen prompt.  Be creative (imagine something no one else would think of OR think of something you have seen but add some imaginative changes) and use any of the Photoshop tools you have learned or want to try to make an interesting artwork.

1. In a design composed of horizontal lines, the vertical line becomes the focal point. 


2. A square stands out from a group of circles or organic shapes. 


3. The physically or visually heavier element or piece commands more attention. 


4. A splash of color or a strong change in value in an otherwise gray piece will draw the eye. 


5. A perfectly symmetrical piece may have no focal point because each element is equally emphasized. 


6. Radial balance generally draws the eye first to the central point in the design. 


7. A part of the design that is isolated from other parts can become a focal point. 


8. The eye is naturally drawn to a point in or near the center of a page, giving elements in that area perceived importance. 


9. Repeating an image or a word can establish its importance. 


10. Set words or phrases in a contrasting bold type or italics to give them emphasis. 


11. Use white space to isolate elements and give them emphasis.
