mr. cox
Welcome back class. I hope you enjoyed your time off and for some of you, you trips.
Your assignments, notice the plural, were do (assignment 13) hand portraits and (assignment 14) fall pictures.
Let's address each one separately.
Assignment _13 Hand portraits.
I would like to see these in black and white only. You should have at least 10 shots and hopefully more. I am going to look at lighting, content and how you display these photos. I would like you to put them on your website with description and explainations of the assignment, a little about the person who you used as a hand model and why you used them. With your 'best' photo, please provide me with a high resolution (300 dpi) 8"x12" photo. Remember to size down - not up.
Assignment _14 Fall Pictures.
For those of you that went on a trip or activity, etc, please make a photoshop photo gallery, make a link from your home page. Make a journal entry on your home page about your break time and what you did. If you have a specific photo that will look good enlarged to 8" x 12", prepare it as mentioned above.
These 2 assignments are due by class end on Wednesday. Use your time wisely. Make your webpages nice and display your photos well.
Place the website in the 'website' folder. Place your prints in the 'prints' folder.
If you did not do the above assignments, please take the time on both Monday and Wednesday to complete an essay on 'Why I didn't do my assignments and how it will impact my grade, my life.' Make sure it is at least 4 pages long, double spaced, 12pt type. Completing this will get you a D.
You should also have a new gallery on your website all about your friends, the candid photos that you took. Make sure this is also on your website.
Please do not ask to 'go take photos'. These 2 days will be labwork. When you complete your assignments, you may work on other class assignments or work on your computer quietly.
