Journal 9 and Grade 12 3-D Assignment

Grade 11 Journal 9 "Pareidolia"
"There is an universal tendency among mankind to conceive all beings like themselves, and to transfer to every object, those qualities, with which they are familiarly acquainted, and of which they are intimately conscious. We find human faces in the moon, armies in the clouds; and by a natural propensity, if not corrected by experience and reflection, ascribe malice or good- will to every thing, that hurts or pleases us." --David Hume




This weeks assignment is to see faces in inaniamate objects. On one level it is kind of a silly fun assignment on another level it is about seeing negative space in a new way and looking closely at the world around you.

Grade 12 Journal 9 and 3-D Assignment
Part one of your assignment will also be your journal for this week. I would like you to take several photos that will create an interesting 3-D image. Subject matter should have a number of "layers" ie: objects in the for, middle and background. It also helps to have a focal point which stands out clearly from the background. 
Examples:
To take the photos you must take a left and a right eye photograph. The photos above were taken with specially rigged "double camera" that took two pictures at the exact same time from the approximate distance of your two eyes. We will not be doing this approach, we will only use one camera and take 2 subsequent photos. Therefore you are encouraged to do a still object instead of a person/pet.
