I don't even know if this would be possible either, if you could make up a theme for me to use or if you could fully help me out here. I am on a very short time crunch so I would be grateful if you did help me out. Here are the details of the assignment:

Instead, abstraction is defined rather, consider how you can draw meaning from by the primary use of compositional elements and abstraction through unique subjects, narrative principles of design such as color, line, form and interesting concepts, scene development, or texture to express a certain feeling, idea, or connections between images. Challenge yourself to aesthetic impression. In many cases, abstraction move pass the technical (thinking only about shapes occurs when capturing only a portion of a specific and patterns) into a creative concept! scene, isolating it from its contextual environment or distorting the angle of view.

This is the first version of your project where you are experimenting redeveloping, and formalizing your project. This means that you have tested a variety of ideas and have narrowed the focus of your project to present for critique. We will then critique your project, so you have the opportunity to make it stronger for the final project. This review is meant to give you advice on your project: what is working, what could use improvement, and what you may consider reevaluating in order to execute a stronger series. Treat these images as if they are the final version of your work, so that it gives you the best opportunity for success when submitting the final set of images. These images should move beyond simply satisfying only the technical aspects of the assignment, into a creative concept. After the review, you will re-photograph for the final series. PREPLANNING FOR THE FIRST SET OF IMAGES Research and Idea Generation. Review the presentation of artists to help generate ideas on how you might approach the assignment. Which photographs did you connect with? Why? Is it a subject matter? A unique color combination? An interesting technique? Or a different way of thinking about a subject. What aspects can be adapted to your own project? Go Play! Before you settle on a concept, take some time to experiment and have fun with shooting without expectation. Give yourself the freedom to play with photography before you get down to business. Try different camera techniques, lighting, shoot during the day, shoot at night, etc Experiment with each style of abstraction (obscure, distort, etc) in order to build your creative toolset before you decide on a project. Formulate a Theme. After experimenting with the different abstract approaches, formulate a cohesive dea or theme to approach the assignment and focus your attention on creating specific photographs. Try not to be general and move past only photographing shapes and forms, and into meaning. The more specific you can be, the more unique the subject and images tends to be. Plan to capture a minimum of 100 images. The more you photograph, the better your skills will become, DELIVERABLES (first set of images) Deliver first set of images around a central idea or theme. Each image should be unique from each other (no two images should look alike), while still connecting through a central theme. Submit five photographs to Blackboard discussion board for critique Lr Ps
