Week 6! Presentations and Group Critique

Presentations on October 19th and 21st will showcase the Photography work you have all been doing over the last 6 weeks. You have all come a long way with this subject - many of you learning Photography for the first time and using it as a tool to explore Contrast as a theme. Continue to upload work to the blog to receive feedback that you could use in your reflective journal.

Please have the following prepared at the start of lesson in Week 6:

1) Presentation - in the form of a slide show or Powerpoint (or possibly other applications that can be    supported by the mac's).

2) Sketchbooks - all work represented (initial research, artist research, assignments, contact sheets, and selections of images) in your sketchbook and everything fully annotated.

3) Journals and/or Blogs - Have your individual blogs open on the night for us to look at if you have been keeping your journal entirely in the form of a blog. If you are keeping a written journal for all your subjects, bring that. If you have kept both a blog and a journal, print out and include the blog entries in your journal.

4) Written Evaluations - 1 - A4 page to also include the final images inserted into the body of the text and analyzed.

PRESENTATIONS should be a discussion of the following information and should be no longer than 7 minutes:

1) Explain your Contrast theme - how did you define Contrast?

2) What did you photograph? Subject matter, genre/style, techniques

3) What are you trying to communicate with this work; what is the message, idea, concept, purpose?

4) Explain the strengths/weaknesses in your work and relate your assessment of this to your reflective journal and the comments/feedback from class and from the blog.

5) Analyze the images you are showing as finals - why have they made the final cut? Refer to your 'What makes a good photography' document

6) Explain any specific techniques you have used and mention artists that have influenced your work.

Your written evaluation should cover the above as well.

Good luck!!
