POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
ON A PHOTOGRAPHER |
The presentation will only be a 3-5 minutes long
1) Pick one of the photographers below. Try to avoid doing a photographer that someone else in the class is doing.
2) Find at least 5 images by that photographer and put it into your powerpoint presentation. Make sure images are appropriate to show in class.
3) Research the photographer and include what you find in your presentation. Some of the questions that you will answer are:
• basic info (birth date and location, etc.) • how did the photographer start taking photographs (schooling, etc.) • what are the important themes/ideas in their work • what is their style (light, dark, odd, crisp, blurry, etc.) • what makes them important or unique in the history of photography • what political/economic/historical factors influenced the work
4) Make sure to include your own opinions about the photographer's work. Do you like it? What do you like about it? What does this photographer do that you would like to do in your own work?
5) LONG PARAGRAPH EVALUATION OF ONE IMAGE• Talk about principles and elements of design: line, shape, space, value, balance, etc. • Talk about the quality of light in the image. • Does the photo have a center of interest? What is it and why does it capture your interest? • Describe the mood of the work. Why does it have that mood? • What do you like best about the image? |
