Task

This assignment is super easy! Upload a pic to your Canvas bio (no it doesn’t HAVE to be you), sign the syllabus agreement in class, and fill out the art release form.

Purpose

Many of you are brand new to LW Tech! And with all these new web portals, emails, and classmates, it can be overwhelming. If you have any problems getting started, I wanna help! And to help, we need to make sure we can communicate with each other, and that you can navigate Canvas.

Criteria for Success

First, get on Canvas at http://lwtech.instructure.com. You should be able to log in using student ID doohickeys that Student Services provided. If you can’t figure it out, contact them!
Second, add a profile picture. With 28 people in the class, this helps me tremendously! A picture of you is ideal, but if you’re camera shy use something else.  
Third, in class, sign the syllabus and fill out the art release form. 

Rubric

  • Profile pic
  • Signing the syllabus and art consent agreement in class
  • There's technically no points for this assignment, but you need to do it to be in the class! 

Example Project

[in class: sign piece of paper]
[Fill out artwork release form]

Theme 3: Skin Submit Assignment Due   Jan 31  by  11:59pm   Points   30   Submitting   a file upload or a website url Task Each week, post 6 photos that fit the weekly theme: 3 unedited, and a version of those 3 with edits made in Lightroom or Photoshop.  This week:  SKIN!  People are the thing we care about in photos. It doesn't matter if you're photographing a volcano getting struck by lightning: the first thing people will say is "I can't see his face, why is it so dark?" Using the skin tones of your subject as the barometer for your exposure is best in 90% of scenarios.     Purpose Exposing for your skin is an aesthetic goal you always need to consider, but it also shows the importance of  metering . Your camera is a robot that can only guess correctly so often, and understanding metering will help you in other ways. Lastly, photographing people involves the real-world choice of  st...

Theme 6: Panorama Submit Assignment Due   Feb 14  by  10:45am   Points   30   Submitting   a website url or a file upload Task Each week, post 6 photos that fit the weekly theme: 3 unedited, and a version of those 3 with edits made in Lightroom or Photoshop.  This week: PANORAMA !   Purpose Panoramas are one of the most jaw-dropping ways to shoot the world around you, but they impose specific technical challenge. Lens choice, stitching software, and learning from your mistakes all play in together for a great panorama.   Criteria for Success Successfully upload TWO panoramas. Since they're made out of a ton of photos, I don't think 3 is needed :P Use jpegs unless otherwise stated in that week’s theme. You can upload your files in a .zip or .7z. Additionally, if you have a Flickr account, website, or other online portal you’d prefer to use, post your photos there and turn in a URL as your assignment...

Theme 7: Photogrammetry Submit Assignment Due   Feb 28  by  11:59pm   Points   30   Submitting   a website url or a file upload Task Photogrammetry is a HUUUGE subject! We'll do our best to generate a textured 3D model, but all I REALLY need you to turn in is a screenshot of a point cloud. Purpose Photogrammetry is measuring from photographs, and in modern context it involves turning photos into a 3D model. Photogrammetry is a major aspect of modern film and game pipelines. Museums are using photogrammetry to preserve human culture, and insurance companies are using photogrammetry to assess whether your roof is dangerous.  You can even get 3D scanned for your wedding!  Criteria for Success Although a robust 3D pipeline isn't going to be achieved in 2 weeks in a non-3D class, the process for photogrammetry is only a few steps:  Set up your scene for scanning Take photos correctly Process all your ph...
