DIPTYCHS
Learning Goal
- Students will be able to use a diptych to tell a story
As a photographer, you should be thinking about the story your photos tell. What is the subject, message, meaning, or theme?
A diptych is a photography technique that allows us to tell two parts of a story. Time and distance are two of the methods we can use to tell our story.
Storytelling - Article explaining diptych techniques
Combine Two Images - Explains combining two images and diptych examples
Two Are Better Than One - Information about diptych's and examples
Images can be edited and combined using Photoshop or your favorite online application. Google Drawing might be a good tool to combine the images as a two-part collage.
The Challenge - Diptychs 10 Pts
Create three separate diptych's (each diptych will have two images). Meet with me to discuss your finished work for credit. Be ready to answer the following questions:
- What was the story, message, meaning, or theme you were trying to convey in your diptychs?
- What do you feel is the overall quality of your diptychs?
After we have met, add your best diptych to this collaborative page. Provide constructive feedback on one other diptych.
