= = =Places and Spaces: Evoking a Mood Through Inner and Outer Space =

==Develop a portrait of a place you know well. Explore its architectural elements, its inner spaces and its outer landscapes. Try not to be nostalgic. Use your knowledge of lighting and composition to interpret this place creating a final printed work of art that evokes a mood that is unique to that certain place. Try to capture the personality of the place. How does it make you feel? What kind of emotions and ideas do you connect to this place? Are there certain memories you have from going there? ==

==There are many types of places that you could choose to portray in this assignment == ===__**landscapes**__- a portrait of nature from a far away vantage point taking in the overall view of an area. [|Check out this article on modern landscape photography.] === ===**__cityscapes__**- a portrait of the city including buildings, streets, lights and people in the city although they aren't the main focus, displays the architecture of the buildings === ===__**interiorscape **__ s- a room or part of a room that illustrates the lighting, shadows, objects, furniture and architectural details of that room. === === mindscapes- dealing with more abstract ideas that you portray through imagery. John Paul Caponigro's work is a good example of this. === === urbanscapes- using subways and other parts of the urban landscape (trash, street signs etc.) to illustrate your idea. ===

==Use the internet resources posted here (links below) to find 3 examples of portraits of places that you think are especially unique, interesting and expressive. One should be a landscape, one cityscape and one interior-scape. ==
