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."

This is a still life I did in my studio at home and added the same texture layer as the photo below of the landscape. As you can see here the layer in Photoshop has been tweaked differently to go with the color scheme. In both Digital class and Darkroom we will do still lifes soon. We will use studio lights and photograph found objects. I would like everyone to create your own textures to scan in soon in digital class. As Amy T. said you can photograph the "texture" also, but it would be great to scan some in created by your own hand with painting, drawing, and silkscreening....FUN! I want to make ART all day!ps- How do I post my photos real big like cool Mr. Reeder? anyone know? Mr. R - r u out there?
I posted this pic here before. This is it with a texture layer that is my own silkscreen/painting - a part of it scanned, croppped, tweeked in Photoshop... the text is a quote about my dad who died two years ago....can you see his face in the pathway between the 2 benches?
The next assignment in digital class will be to "Illustrate a Poem" - your images will have TEXT in them - all or part of the poem. Let's try to use your own poems. You can write the poem 1st or have the photo inspire the poem.
Darkroom students - we may have time to do this too...if not you can try it with x-tra time you have if you finish other assignments - talk to me about your idea and I can give you some techniques to do this in the darkroom. This image is a "montage". We will be doing an assignment called "Double Exposure", where we play with montaging different photos together as one...
A thanks to Grayson for helping me come up with this good idea for a class project!
