Posting on your Blog - It is exciting to see work of such a high standard appearing on many of your blogs. Keep posting your work and artist research regularly as it forms an online portfolio that is not only a great way to showcase your talents, but is used for assessment and marking.

Workflow - This week in class we have undertaken a number of tasks. All of these are to be uploaded to your blog. Many of you are up to date and have taken charge of your learning. If you are unsure of your progress, refer to the list below.

1. Edit, and post at least 4 images inspired by the work of Max Dupain. Generally speaking these images should be architectural and exploit natural light.

2. Still life practice shoot. Compose and shoot 10 images exploiting natural light in the classroom using available props. You must have examples of close up, extreme close up, leading lines, rule of 3rds, symmetry, and asymmetry. Choose at least 4 of these to edit and upload to your blog.

3. Read provided articles on Max Dupain and Olive Cotton. Using this information write at least 50 words describing the life and photographic practice of Olive Cotton. No cut and paste, as it is plagiarism.

4. Locate and choose a photograph by Olive Cotton to upload to your blog. You must provide a citation for the work so use the Art Gallery of New South Wales website, as one will always be provided. This cannot be said of a search of google images.

Shared Course Resources - Many useful resources and documents are shared with you on google drive in the folder Year 9 Photography and Digital Media 2015. Here you can find assessment tasks, technical notes, and artist information covered in class.
