Schedule for Finals

Hey gang,

Let's do two finals. The first will be on Thursday, December 8th, 8-11am. We'll do a second on Tuesday, December 13th 9-11am.

Johanna (johannalynn88@gmail.com), is going to start a sign-up sheet and we'll figure out who wants to present on which day.

Print 5 of your images on 11x14 paper, give the images a 2-inch border on each size at a minimum... Don't matt them, don't frame them. Just print them.

An article worth reading...

I read this today and thought about the discussion we had in class yesterday...no not the one about UFO's...not the one about Bigfoot...but the one where we talked about doing what your instructors are asking you to do. The conversation where you feel like you are just jumping through hoops. Where you're not sure why you're being asked to do certain things for class.

Read this. There are many similarities between his career path and yours.

Final Critique

Date: December 8th 8-10:50

Requirements:

20 images around a theme that is NOT about you.

5 prints, make them consistent with each other, same border, same margins, same-same-ness. Don't make them look like a hodge-podge of crap you pulled out from under your bed.

Bring something to snack on. Remember I like Mexican Coke's and Peanut M&M's.

I will be here at 7:30 if you guys want to get here early and sign up for a time to be critiqued. Remember if you wait until the end I will be tired and grumpy and we might run out of time to look at your stuff. If you don't care about any of those things then wait until the end. If you DO care about those things (HINT: YOU SHOULD), then sign up for an early time to show your work.

This should be something that you are willing to spend an extended period of time and a significant emotional investment in.

Good luck.

Remember, 40% of your grade comes from this. Don't screw up.

Final Pre-Critique

November 22nd.

I want to see some shooting for your final project. Bring some work you have been doing to show to class so that we can critique and offer suggestions as to what you should be doing better.

I need you to write down your proposals on your blog before you start shooting. This will help you as you move forward with your shooting and help clarify what you are trying to accomplish.

You CAN change your project, but let's talk about it in person or via e-mail before you do.
