Week 06 - New 20-30 Weekly Images for Final Project - Midterm

This last week, after an unexpected snow day, we came back to discuss the reading for Barrett Chapters 2-3. We discussed the process of engaging critically with images starting with describing the work and then interpreting what we see and learn about the images. This will be helpful for next week as we will be looking at your first round of 20-30 images that should be working towards developing your final book project.

Next week in addition to your first critique, we will be taking a short Midterm Exam that will be reviewing camera functions, exposure, and the ideas covered in the Barrett readings. Please take a look at all the handouts we've discussed. The slideshows we've looked at might be helpful as well. It also might be helpful to re-read Barrett based on the discussion we had in class.

Next week:
Midterm Exam - review handouts on exposure, camera controls, and Barrett readings

20-30 Prints - bring 20-30 NEW images as 4x6 prints, review critique guidelines
- Wallgreens, CVS, Adorama are just a few of the affordable places to get prints made by uploading your jpegs online. Please allow ample time to get your images printed. Waiting until the last minute, mishaps with printing, and prints not being ready in time will not be an excuse for not having work each week. Plan ahead. 
- You will also be graded on your participation in critique of your peers work. Bring a notebook to jot down ideas and comments, and review the critique guidelines to give you some ideas for how to engage verbally with your classmates' work.

Final Book Project- Review the final book assignment prompt to get an idea for the eventual goal of your 20-30 images assignments. I will be bringing in some books next week for us to look at and suggest some places for you to go to look at other photography books for inspiration.

See you all next week!
