(Copy this organizer to take notes)

Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship	On this photo, I used a lot of dodging and burning on photoshop.  I burned the table to make the pencils stand out more.  I also slightly burned the light blue pencil.
Elements ·          Color ·          Line ·          Shape ·          Texture ·          Form ·          Value ·          Space	The lines on the table in this picture are somewhat leading.  In addition, there are lines because of the pencils.
Principles ·          Proportion ·          Variety ·          Balance ·          Contrast ·          Pattern/Repetition ·          Rhythm/Movement ·          Unity/Harmony ·          Emphasis
Conceptual Skill	This photograph has a fun feel to it.  Because of the colors of the pencils, it reminds me of childhood fun.
Critique	I am happy with this photograph.  I wasn’t at first until I dodged and burned it.  I would’ve liked for the light blue pencil to be slightly darker in the back, but it really stands out the way it is.

Critique of ___Film Roll 9- Spring Break________________________________

(Copy this organizer to take notes)

Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship	I utilized rule of thirds well in this photograph.  I dodged the maracas a bit.  However, the negative was slightly dirty.

Conceptual Skill	The picture has a dramatic look to it because of the lighting and the contrast.
