Rule of Thirds Assignment (Lesson 2)

Description:
This project serves as your first submission of material for marking. You are going to be marked in two parts. The first is the submission of two images that you took; one following the rule of thirds, and another that is not. Be sure to use the grid as shown in class to demonstrate how it does/does not follow the rule of thirds. The second is a reflection piece that will serve as a rationale and reflection piece. It will include a portion where you explain the choices that you made with their images as well as some questions pertaining to your thoughts on the class, your learning, etc. You will have until the end of class to complete this assignment. It is to be deposited on your blog upon completion. There will be time set aside at the end of the class to present if you so choose. Remember, you may also leave feedback on each others work through the blog for discussion marks. Be sure to explain yourself well; one sentence posts do not count. Actually engage one another in conversation. Rule of Thirds Image- /5
