Pointed criticism, if accurate, often gives the artist an inner sense of relief. The criticism that damages is that which disparages, dismisses, ridicules, or condemns. ~William Ernest Henley

Just a though....

I submitted all of our work Friday afternoon. They will begin jurying the work Monday (today). The county will return prints that did not make it into the show. The exhibit will start in late December and will run thru March of 2010!

We are now into studio lighting. I am very excited with the work I have seen so far!! For some of you, we may need to work on developing our film. It's very disappointing when the film doesn't turn out! I will work with you! 

You also need to start thinking about the paper that is due on or by Friday, December 11, 2009. You need to pick a photographer  from the list compiled by Ms. Miles and myself. Write a three to five page essay on why you chose this photographer. Include images( which do not count as a page!!!), your view on what you like or do not like about their work. You may talk about the different categories they fall under, for example, Fashion, documentary, and fine art. Some photographers fall into all three some specifically fall into one.

All papers must follow the MLA format, here is an example. The papers must be typed, double spaced and use Times New Roman font!! I will print up a rubric for you to follow. The grade for your paper is the same as completing a print assignment.
