Overview–
Perspective is a key part of understanding how to write well. As writers, we need to recognize that we approach each assignment with our own unique perspective. We also need to realize that we have the power to change that perspective. In addition, we need to recognize that our readers approach what we write with a perspective of their own, one that might or might not match what we had in mind.
Since perspective is mostly about the way we see things, it makes sense to demonstrate it through visuals. This in-class activity will give you a chance to explore your own perspective in a new way.
Requirements-
Leave the classroom and choose three objects to photograph. Photograph each object three times, each one from a different point of view (for a total of nine pictures). Maybe you will take one photograph from above, one close-up, and one from a distance. Try to look at objects that others might not take the time to notice during the day. Return to the classroom in 20 minutes.
Once you return, choose your best two photos and email them to me.
