Lesson 5 - Broken-Old or Weathered and Photo Study

​

Big Idea: To investigate a particular theme and create imagery that describes the theme.  The theme will be things that are old, broken or weathered.  When selecting your composition, think - what is the story I am trying to tell? What is the purposeful narrative behind my image? 

​

Assignment: To capture imagery that best describes objects that are very old, or have been weathered through time, broken or discarded.  Look for subjects that have naturally weathered or aged and objects that have aged due to use over time; for example, tools with shiny handles from being handled over many years.  Images that reflect weathered, old and broken can be very beautiful because they evoke a sense of history or nostalgia in the viewer.
