Revamp Project

Did you ever finish a project and think it was okay, but then
you saw everybody else’s projects and were suddenly
wishing you could re-do yours? Or did you finally figure
out shutter speed or aperture only after we had completed
the assignments, knowing that if you had them to do over
you’d get the A for sure?

A good artist is willing to look at their mistakes, the

artworks that just didn’t turn out right, or the projects that
they struggled with and see how they could improve. This is
what we’ll be doing in this project.

1. Look back at the photographs you’ve created this year. Which are you most proud of and
which are you least proud of?
a. Pop Art
b. Multiple Exposure
c. Texture

e. Natural Lighting Portrait
f. Studio Lighting Portrait
g. Nature- Open
h. Nature - Macro/Telephoto/Fish Eye
i. Nature - In the style of Ansel Adams
j. Nature - Human Impact
k. Nature - Desert
l. The Hat
m. Applying Depth of Field
n. Song Lyrics
o. Elements of Composition (not the presentation, but the photograph you took that used
your element.)
p. Layer Masking
q. Light Painting
r. Freezing Motion
s. Ordinary Extraordinary

2. Select one of these projects to revamp. You can select it for any reason, including:
a. Your picture didn’t turn out great for technical reasons (it was blurry, too dark, etc.)
b. Your picture didn’t turn out great for creative reasons (it wasn’t eye-catching, etc.)
c. Your picture was technically fine and creative, but you’ve since had an idea of how it
could be even better.

3. Insert your original photo in the table below. Then, critique it by answering the following
questions?
a. Why did you select this photo?
b. What did you do well in the photo?
c. What could you have done better?
d. What is your plan for your revamped photo and how will it improve upon the original?

4. After you create your new photo paste it into the box above and critique it by answering the
following questions.
a. How do you feel after revamping this artwork?
b. What did you do well in the new version of the photo?
c. What could you have done better?
d. What lessons did you learn?

5. When you’re totally finished and ready to hand this in delete all the directions and keep only
what is inside the tables. You will also hand in the revamped photo as a JPEG in a separate
Classroom assignment. Its file name can be like this 1-SmithJ-depth of field revamp
