Assignment: To creatively illustrate each of the principles of design using line, circles, and squares. Using only 2 elements of art (line and shape), you will demonstrate your knowledge of composition and photography by creatively composing images which focus on each of the principles of design. One image may contain more than one principle of design, but only one should be the main focus of the image. QED, you make take a photograph of a bunch of bottle caps (circles) and it would be about repetition, even if they are slightly varied... but it all depends on how you arrange them and then how you compose the photograph. Experiment with using a short depth of field with some of your shots (largest aperture opening). Do not stay in your house to take these photographs! Go out and explore!!
