Great Black & White Photographers Pt 3

Ansel Adams



1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? I really enjoy nature photography. Especially in Colorado where it's mountainous. The mountains, trees, terrain and skyline is what caught my eye in this photo.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. 

I see vast nature with tall trees expanding out into the wilderness. I see rain off in the distance above that wilderness 
I smell pine trees everywhere. The fresh smell of a waterfall pouring off in the distance is present as well.
I hear the waterfall crashing down the mountain and the weather blowing the huge trees in the canyon. 
I taste pine trees. I taste the crunch of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I feel relaxed. I also feel very free.


3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see
I smell
I hear
I taste
I feel

You can do this in 2 ways. You can either put yourself in the photo and pretend your standing next to the subjects in the photo. I know smell and taste are hard but you can do it.

Or, you can pretend you were the photographer and use those same senses.

On the one titled - I feel - you may either touch things in your photo (imagination please!!) or you can tell me what you (yes, you in the real world) feel or felt the first time you saw the photo, or how it makes you feel when you look at it now.

BE REFLECTIVE HERE - try to be descriptive, try to write more than you think you can. One sentence per prompt is NOT ENOUGH, write at LEAST 3 sentences per!!! Write more, if you think its enough, its NOT.

Mural Project


Mural Project



1. What theme, that we could take here at school, could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? We could use Bowie logos or Bulldogs.

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones? I think the project should be open to phone cameras and regular cameras. Both are capable of capturing photographs used in the project.

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus? These murals could be put in the athletic wing or around the Kennel.
