Utah Photographer Group Project

It's time to work on a group project!

The assignment:

You will get into the groups I assigned on Wednesday. Stay in those groups. I remember where I put you!

As a group search for a Utah Photographer. DO NOT use someone you know! DO NOT use a business! Pick one person.When you have all agreed on a photographer this is what you need to do.

* Write a page report on the photographer. Things you could include would be:

   Bio of photographer

   Why they are a good photographer

   About their photos

      Design + Composition

      Why you like thir work

      Photographers inspiration

   At the end I want you to tell me why this individual is an artist and not just a person with a camera. What makes it art?

* Create a powerpoint. It should include:

   Information on the artist

   Photographs that show the artist tallent and style

MAKE THESE INTERESTING! You will be presenting these to your class next week. No one wants to here a monotone speech with a boring powerpoint. Make it interesting!

You will be graded on your presentation as well as you paper that you will turn in after you present!

Below are the names of each part of your camera body. Each camera will be slightly different. Study this image. There will be a quiz on Friday/Monday November 4th and 7th!

Pictures for Photo 1 PS Final

Photograhy 1 FINAL Project

Can you believe that it's already the end of the semester? I can't. You will be happy to know that you only have one more assignment. But don't put it off because it's a big one!

The assignment

PART 1
You will turning in 10 photos total. The first 5 pictures will be your Best five pictures that you've taken this semester. I will not accept pictures from the summer or last year. They have to be from September until now. You should have around 50-65 pictures to choose from. I will be grading on the principles that I've taught you this quarter. Those are:

RULE OF THIRDS
interesting perspectives [birds eye, worm eye, ect]
CREATIVITY
lines [verticle, horizontal, diagonal]
color


PART 2
The second 5 photos will be new pictures. I've given you from Oct.13th until Oct. 24th/25th to work on these pictures. These pictures should show me what you have learned from the class as a whole. You don't have a lot of pictures to take, but they must be good. I will be grading hard. Creativity and rule of thirds are a must! I will not grade pictures that are fuzzy and out of focus. You should be beyond that point, especially for a final. Just because you only have to turn in 5 photos does not mean you should only be taking 5 photos. That means you turn in you best 5.

This week before fall break you will have time in class to redo assignments and get everything turned in. This is also a good time to look over you photos from the quarter and think about what images you want to turn in. I will also be here to answer questions about what picture is better and such.

This final assignment is due on October 24th and 25th. No exceptions!!!!!!!

That means if you didn't get it in I do NOT want to hear you excuses. I won't listen. You either did it or you didn't.
