Assignment: Alphabet Photography

For your photography assignment, you will be experimenting with what we'll refer to as "Alphabet Art". Using photography, you'll be responsible for spelling out a word of your choice using black and white images. Please photograph in color and we will learn as a class how to properly convert to grayscale so as to achieve proper contrast.

Below, you'll find an example of alphabet art spelling out a word. Can you see the letters?

"K-E-N-N-E-D-Y"

1. Choose a word, at least five letters long, and cannot be the same as any other 
2. student in the class
3. Start photographing, take more then 1 picture for a given letter as you may find something better later in the week. Look high and wide to find your letters, they can be in the most unique places. Try your best to find natural letter forms and not have to "spell it out" yourself using found objects.
4. Take COLOR images
5. Upload images throughout the week. (I will be out Thursday-Monday) so you will have this major assignment going on amongst some minor ones with the substitute. 
6. SAVE EACH IMAGE separately in a folder titled Letters, in Major assignments, no larger then 8.5x11 
7. For POST credit, place each image on panoramic canvas much like May  7th titled "Alphabet Art", before you leave class.
8. Also place a saved version of your flattened, full word in 'letters' folder as a final image.

NO YOU CANNOT WRITE THE LETTER DOWN AND PHOTOGRAPH IT 

I'd also prefer you NOT photograph letters, photograph things that LOOK like letters.
