Homework and where we should be, Week 4

Hello! Its been great to see your work developing over the last 3 weeks under the "Autobiography" theme. You have had tasks dealing with Self-portraits, Portraits, Studio Lighting, and shooting in Natural/Available/Domestic Lighting. Your latest task asks you to experiment with presentation styles, in particular using Diptychs, Triptychs, Grids, Sequences, and Series. Find the list below of everything you should be working towards to date and makes sure all work is appropriately presented in your sketchbook, personal blog, and class blog.

1. Self-Portrait series - contact sheets and examples of finals
2. Studio Portraits - contact sheets and examples of finals
3. Portraits with available light - contact sheets and examples of finals
4. Research into artist sketchbooks/presentation techniques.
5. Research: self-portrait artists, portrait artists, studio portrait artists
6. Research Dan Eldon, Duane Michals, Jim Goldberg, Diane Arbus (as a start)
7. Research into Triptychs, Diptychs, etc
8. Present your series of work in at least 3 different styles (grid, sequence, with text, etc)and possibly incorporate different bodies of work (landscapes and portraits, abstract and portraits) into the presentation
9. Continue to develop your own idea of Autobiography and photograph within your chosen style or genre.
10. Refere to your "how to evaluate photographs" document and develop your visual language by discussing time, stories, feelings/moods/emotion of the work. Why was that photo important at that particular time.
11. HAVE FUN!!
