Spring Break Assignment.

Shoot 6 rolls of your first self-directed project!
Make sure that you have emailed me your idea, otherwise it doesn't count.
Please come to class with negs, contacts, and work prints.

Work prints: smaller prints which are designed to get an overall idea about your edit without out pulling your hair out making perfection happen.

got it?

Assignment due for class 3/19

Please come to class prepared to present the following:

1) a 5-10min presentation on the 10 photographers that you chose.

2) 10 prints you made of the stranger assignment (printed as good as you can with split filtering, dodging and burning and such)

3) 5 prints (not perfect if you don't have time) of the "Tell me a secret" assignment.
(Tell me a secret: using 5-10 images tell me(the class) something that most people do not know about you. This can be a narrative which might be shocking or banal, or anything really. Regardless of what you decide to make work about, please be willing to share it with the class in discussion of your work. DO NOT make work about something you will not consider disclosing in critique. Shoot three rolls of this)

The 15 prints will be for a short critique which will follow the presentations.

Also, remember to check out the RISD grad open studios tonight (friday)
