Homework - Week 6

Willi Ruge, Seconds before Landing. 1931.

Hi Everyone!

For part one of this week's homework, you will be choosing one photograph from the Museum of Modern Art's Photo exhibition that engages (moves, frustrates, confuses, angers, or otherwise inspires) you. Use the"Reading Photos" worksheet that you filled out at the museum as reference. The worksheet will be turned in to me next class.

If you weren't in class today, or need another copy of the worksheet, it is posted in the class Dropbox. If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I will email you the file.

For part two of the homework, you will make a photograph that responds to the image that you chose. This is open to your interpretation-- you can recreate the image, or make an image that uses the same techniques or is a critique of the image--it's entirely up to you.

Post the photograph that you chose along with your response photograph to the class blog BEFORE next class--we will be looking at the photos together at the start of next week's class.

The MoMA's online photo archive can be accessed here.

The exhibition website is here.

The Thomas Walther Collection can be found online here.

Next class will be an open lab session (to prepare for our critique the following week) as well as an in class portrait shooting session. Be sure to bring your camera, your images for the next critique and a hard drive with you next week.

As always, please email me with any questions!

Homework - Week 5

Aaron Siskind, Manzanillo, Mexico, 1955

Hi Everybody!

Well, despite having a rocky start to the class, I'm really pleased with how the first critique went and I'm excited to see your series develop over the rest of the semester! You all contributed some great feedback to your classmates and your homework this week (besides posting what you showed in class, which a number of you have already done) is to respond to that feedback and continue working on your series for the next critique. If you weren't in class last week, post your 10 images as soon as possible.

Just a reminder, if you are still having any trouble with the technical aspects of the class (manual photography, photoshop, downloading/uploading your images), please let Crystal or I know so we can help out. There are no dumb questions, as they say.

Next week will be a field trip, so please come prepared-metro card with two rides, writing utensils and notebooks, your Parsons ID card and High School ID card. It would be helpful to bring $10 for admission, just in case. Pack light, and be on time! If you are late, I can't promise we will still be in the classroom when you get there.

See you next week!
