Artist Presentation, READ CAREFULLY

Artist Presentations

Pick a photographer you are interested in. EXCEPT ANSEL ADAMS.
Look this person up. Find out about their methods of art making (traditional, non-traditional, digital), their prefered subjects, the conceptual basis for their work (what does the work mean? why is this person compelled to make art?) Do you think their work accomplishes what they set out to create? What do you find strong in their arguments and work? What do you feel could be done better if anything?

Write 3-5 TYPED pages (3 pages min.) explaining what you found. Focus on concept!! Use AT LEAST two images as examples and turn in copies of those images with your paper.

This report must be typed, double spaced, done in some form of academic writing style. You must have at least TWO sources cited at the end in a Work Cited page. Please use proper citation style for quotes and paraphrases in your work. All the usual paper things count. EDIT your work.

Be prepared to talk about this person’s work for 10 minutes. You can bring in a powerpoint presentation, jpg images that can be opened in preview, or you can bring in GOOD prints from your printer, or books or a combination of these. Make sure that you have between 10 and 15 images to present to the class.

Here’s a list of potential artists. You are NOT limited to these folks or to digital photographers. These are just some suggestions.

If we have work by the person you choose at the CCP, I STRONGLY suggest that you make an apointment and see the real deal.
