m14: Diptych [Night & Day]
Students will create a diptych with the overall theme of "Night & Day"; one photo will be shot during the day and one will be shot at night.
Focus on illustrating a clear narrative within your diptych. Remember to refine your composition through the use of line, shape, texture, contrast and capturing a full range of values within the photo. Students will also reinforce their knowledge of balance, proportion, sequence, unity and emphasis within their diptych.
