Shoes & Shadows
objective: swbat take photographs utilizing 1 object, shoes, and the shadow that it casts.
Why shoes & why shadows?
Both objects are considered to be a favorite subject matter of the photography world.
Shoe-Due to the diverseness of shoes (high heels, sneakers, slippers, sports shoes, etc.) the theme lends itself to being simple enough to photograph and a living necessity. Often times, photographers and artists' photograph items that belong to them, are a part of their everyday lives, and tell a story. Shoes either clean or dirty tell a story about the person who wears them, where they've traveled, and hints at the lives of their owners.
Shadows-Shadows are also unique but at the same time specific to the item that it is attached to. Everything can cast a shadow, including shoes, people, animals, plants, buildings, transportation, etc. Shadows are often photographed because of their mysteriousness and the use of elements and principles of art and design.
