Over the next 7 weeks you are to take digital photographs of letters of the alphabet that you see around you.

The idea is to see a letter within an existing object /artefact rather than contriving the letter yourself.

All 26 letters of the alphabet need to be photographed ready for your first photography lesson in September. Try to take several different photographs for each letter that way you can select the best one.

Any type of digital camera can be used. However the end product must be in JPEG format and brought to school on a memory card.

We do not want you to prepare a poster at this stage, this will be your first task.

Letters of the Alphabet Project  (Powerpoint / PDF)

This will be the basis of your first task in September and must be completed before then as the elements in this are essential to this task.
