Ms Chase is away today and students should work on any incomplete work first and then continue on to this assignment. I would like you to click on the link about copyright and read the article, then make a written argument whose side you take on the copyright issue. Do not forget to back up your argument with some good solid examples. This assignment should be handed in by the end of the week, and should be typed. At least a half page of writing should be completed.

Thurs.Feb.26

I am away today and I would like you to work on the following in this order if possible.

• finish up any late work that was due this past Mon. ( composition, texture, head shots)
• work on completing your self-portrait and post to Flickr…due on Mon.
• review the posts on taking good portraits, work on taking your portraits…at the very least get your portraits set up for the weekend or next week.
• check out the camera sim link just below this post ( it will help you practice with manual functions)
• NEW ASSIGNMENT: This one will be ongoing for a few days…but you could get one pic today. SKY SHOTS (6 shots) of the sky at different times of the day or different days, try to include at least one shot with clouds in it at some point. The idea is to have 5 very different shots of the sky 10 marks. Try not to get anything but sky in each shot.
• spend some time playing in the editors…becoming familiar with Pixlr, Picmonkey, and Photoshop. You can always look up some Photoshop tutorials on you tube to learn more about how to do more complex editing
