Jerry and END OF THE 3RD MP

If you recently got a post from me re: a quote, it was not meant to be sent to all of you. Tori was sending it to me and somehow I posted it to all of you...so if u were wondering if it has anything to do with class it did not.

END OF THE 3RD MARKING PERIOD! WOW! That went fast.

All students in both classes have had time to reflect on what you need to get in as of today for a good grade. I am checking the blogs now and will check them one more time before grades are entered, at around 1pm today.

The photo above is by Jerry Uelsmann, who is a photographer that we will look at in darkroom class a lot to inspire "Double Exposure" assignment coming up soon. In Digital class we will look at him as well for upcoming assignments...

Bryce found some other GREAT abstract photographers to share with darkroom class for our current assignment. Much of this work should fuel inspiration for the still life assignment we have coming up...
check out + google Brett Weston below here.

Also google Imogen Cunningham, Karl Blossfeldt, Irving Penn, Josef Sudek, and Aaron Siskind.

TEXT + THE PHOTOGRAPH - Digital Assignment

This is a Barbara Kruger photo incorporating "text" or a "truism". In digital class you have been assigned to experiment with text 3 ways - hope you have begun playing. We looked at Jenny Holzer's work + my own in class.

I used lots of old photos and scans of objects in my work - start scanning or bring some stuff to class to import into Photoshop.

Remember to do your mini blog report on another artist that incorporates text into their work.

Come up with some "truisms" or quotes that you have always liked to use with your photos - or make up your own. ...I just remembered I always liked "Practice random acts of kindness." and "Practice senseless acts of beauty."
