Independent Component 2

Log turned in  in class 4/29
Literal
a) I, Heather Powers, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) For my component, four of those doing photography as their senior project got together and made a booth for Ifest. We each worked independently on our own photos, but at Ifest we will all put our photos up for the school to see. I used my time in ROP to work on my photos. I used photos that I took in that class as well as photos I took independently at home. I did spend some time at hope working on photos, like photos of Shazia’s Variety Show, as well. Only 7 of the photos will be shown at Ifest due to costs of printing.
Interpretive
The total time spent in ROP is 48 hours. There was also time spent at home working in photos, and the meetings all the girls had to discuss what we were doing for the booth. The total was about 52 hours. ROP takes up most of the time for  Jack teaching us each topic, taking the photos, going over them with Jack (or Mr. Daly that past two weeks), and editing.
Applied
This helped me answer my EQ, first by actually using all three of my answers. I had to have the equipment to take the photo. I had to try to get the proper lighting to fit the mood  I wanted. And lastly, I had to make my final definition for the word “nature”. Which is “the universe and all its phenomena”. So I had to capture the nature of the world, whether it was my world, the natural world, or the world of another, like the Variety Show photos. I lived out my EQ answers and it helped me to confirm that my answers are correct for my topic.
Evidence is on the flash drive, but here are a few of the photos I took.

Art Rationale

For my creative expression, I am taking photos of what I think nature is and matching them to quotes. I want to get my definition of nature and show it, because defining nature is one of my answers to my EQ. It will also make me use my other two answers, equipment and lighting. It will force to me to not only answer my EQ but live it out.
I already have several photos done, and some chosen that I need to work on. I still need to take a couple of  them and print them all out.
