So, this week's focus is going to be on the history of the medium of photography. We're going to focus on learning all we can about various photographers. In our class today, you have received 2 different photographers. Study them. Search out their work. Become familiar with it. Your assignment is to do the following:
1. Pick the photographer (out of the two given) whose works resonates the strongest with you.
2. Become familiar with their work and subject matter so that you can do the following:
3. Either recreate one of their images or create something in the style of their work.
4. You MUST have these images in class on Tuesday, October 23rd. (I will be coming around to look at your individual assignments and see who you've chosen and how you've executed your photos thus far- plus I will give back feedback and individual direction).
5. The best images from this assignment must be posted to your blog by Thursday, October 25th for the in-class critique.
6. You must also write a 1-page paper on the photographer, discussing their work and life. (You will be presenting this paper and the information gathered in a 5-min presentation. These presentations will be spread out throughout the next couple of weeks. But the paper is due by Thursday, October 25th at the beginning of class. You may submit it on Canvas or bring it to class on Thursday. This will be a separate assignment here in Canvas.)
