Sculpture Backgrounds, Lighting and Camera Angles

Great Job last week on sculptures!  Good news is that there will be more Sculpey tomorrow!  We will make another batch of sculptures based on the reflections of last week's work.

Today:  Pair off in groups of two.  Choose between the two of you a sculpture to work with. 

Using cardboard, paper, felt, objects, etc., create a three dimensional environment of your sculpture.  When finished, using the class tripod/camera or your phone, take six photos of your sculpture in your environment with six different camera angles from last week's vocabulary terms; side of head/back of head, full object, 3 stage, depth, small figure/large background, profile, extreme close-up, etc. 

Please use the full class time.  Make sure your backgrounds are full color.
