4. search flickr.com using a keyword or tag

6. identify how your flickr photograph uses line/shape to give a quality/feeing to the image
7. find at least 10 different kinds of paper (from the recycling, newspapers, Xeroxes, candy wrappers, cereal boxes, shampoo labels, posters, etc)—do not use magazines

9. recreate your flikr photograph using your found papers paying attention primarily to the use of line/shape to give meaning/feeling/quality to the image—try to use as many of your ten found papers as you can. emphasize and draw out the use of line and shape in the picture.

Bring to class next week
your digital camera, if you have one, and its instruction booklet. If you do not have one, you may need to download it during class to learn how to use the manual options for focus, aperture, shutter, and white balance. Also bring any cord you have to connect your camera to the computer so that you can download images short during class. Finally, bring your hard drive, flash drive, or laptop for saving digital images.
