Concentration Portfolio
You will create a series of photos that are interrelated either in a technical way or thematic way. You will create a Google Slide Presentation that will be due the last week of class. Your presentation will include:
-
10-15 images made by you pertaining to your concentration (this is if you are doing basic digital images – the number can be reduced if doing darkroom or elaborate Photoshopping – consult with MrL)
-
An artist statement that explains your concentration
-
The inclusion of two well-known photographers that do similar work to yours (at least 4 images from each photographer)
Here are two questions to guide your writing:
What is the central idea of your concentration?
How do your images support this idea?
