Week 5 Blog and Instructions for Wednesday

DON'T FORGET TO BRING MULTIPLE "FOUND" OBJECTS FOR WEDNESDAY! YOU CAN BRING OBJECTS EITHER FROM A THRIFT STORE OR THAT YOU FIND IN THE GARBAGE. YOU SHOULD SPEND AROUND $2.00.

Blog: Take a picture that illustrates expression and value. The photo can show anything from a variety of value to more chiaroscuro...just make sure that you also include expression. The photo can be in color or black and white...black and white only makes value more apparent.– Due Feb 13

1. Immediate Response – Uncensored, irrational un-self-conscious impressions of the photo, what you notice first, what stand out and how it affects you.
2. Objective Description – Describe what is in front of you. Describe the photo to someone who cannot see it.
3. Formal Matters – discuss the composition, line quality, color, placement in space
4. The Story It Tells – Does the photo tell a story? Try naming the photo with a simple noun.
5. The Work in the World - How does the photo connect to Edgar Degas’ drawings? (You may need to look up images of this artist on the Internet to be able to make a thorough comparison.)
