Rule of Thirds

Strands & Standards 8:2, 2:2
Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is one of many compositional rules in photography. To use this rule you are dividing your image into 3rds horizontally and vertically.
Using this GRID, you can place you point of interest, subject, on one of the intersections. Notice the bees eye is right on the intersection. You can also use the lines to layout your image.
The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally.
Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the center of the shot – using the rule of thirds works with this natural way of viewing an image rather than working against it.
Assignment:
  • Take multiple images using the rule of thirds.
  • You will select your best 10 and in class you will make a contact sheet. Link (Links to an external site.) for instructions.
  • Save your contact sheet as a .jpg
  • Submit to canvas two files.
  • File 1: your contact sheet, with all 10 images. 15 pts
  • File 2: You best rule of third image (.jpg) 5 pts
  • 20 points total
You can edit the lighting in these images if you want, you can also crop to get them just right.
