Create a digital essay in Power Point using ten images you take based on one of three categories: Shape, feeling, or issue.

1. Shape: Images should be similar in shape, size, curve or angle.

2. Feeling: All images should express the same state of mind or emotion or being.

3. Issue: All images should focus on a social, political, environmental, current issue or event.

Criteria:

All images should be photographed using correct lighting, compostion, color & contrast.

Images should be placed into MultiMedia Lab V software and presented to the class with the use of images only, NO TEXT!

Classroom will use deductive reasoning to try to figure out which category each student was shooting their images for.

Use a 10 second dissolve between each image.
