Geometry and Photography Requirements
Over the next three to four weeks, we will be studying the art of photography. What you will need is your own digital camera, the ability to photoshop your pictures and a program or book to place your pictures.
The goal is to create a digital portfolio of your photographs that show the very best of the pictures you've taken. There is both a math and art component to your portfolio.
Note: Parenthesis below indicates the minimum number of pictures to be included in the portfolio. Also a photo may fit two or more categories below. For example, a photo may show an acute, obtuse triangles and this is China category. In this case, the photo just needs to be submitted once in the portfolio, but with a proper description or explination.
Math:
Images that reflect:
-Acute, right, obtuse and reflex angles (with degrees indicated)
-Perpendicular and parallel lines
-Symmetry (2 pictures)
-The Golden ratio in nature (2)
- Acute, obtuse, right angle triangles
Please be aware that you will need to have a title for each photo and what that image represents.
Art:

Rules:
All photos in your portfolio must be done by YOU!
All portfolios are individual projects
All photos were taken between April 9 and May 9, 2011
The portfolio may be in any complete form. You could make a physical book of your photographs, a slide show presentation of photos, online portfolio or whatever best artistically represents your work.
The portfolio is due May 10th, 2011
You will be marked on:
- Completing all the assigned criteria

At the end of this project you will be given a reflective questionnaire to see if your group divided the work evenly. If one member in your group put more effort in the project they may get the majority of marks and the person who did the least may lose marks
