Define the Technical

Throughout the semester we have been exploring many technical and creative approaches. One of our final projects is to use photographs to demonstrate your understanding of these concepts. I find when you define the concept in writing, it will help to define the photographic concept when you are creating your image. Research and explore the concepts below.

Your assignment is to give a written definition for each prompt. 
Submit as a word document or a PDF through Canvas.
