Week 7 Wrap-Up

Aida Muluneh, Strength in Honor, 2016

Hi Everyone,

Today, we visited the Aperture Foundation to view the exhibition The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion. We also discussed their internship program (more info here!).

Next week is our second critique. You will be showing 20 new images related to your series. We will have some time at the start of class to organize images and to take a closer look at Camera raw and Photoshop. Please be sure to bring all of your files (as well as a hard drive or USB drive).

On to this week's homework:

• Firstly (and most importantly), concentrate on shooting for your project and next week's critique.
• Secondly, use this week to complete and post any homework assignments you may have missed. I will be getting in touch before next class with a short midterm review. If you have any questions about the homework, or aren't sure of how to complete an assignment related to a class you may have missed, email me and we'll sort it out. Not sure if you missed an assignment? Click on the homework tab to see all of the weekly assignments or click on your label to se everything you've posted.
• Finally, choose one image from the Aperture exhibition and create a response image. How you interpret this is up tp you, but you might choose to: recreate the subject or pose, use the same or a similar technique, create an image that responds to or engages with a photo for the exhibition, just to name a few ideas. Be sure to post the photograph you are referencing as well.

That's all for this week. Please let me know if you have any questions, and see you next Saturday!
