Okay, school has officially started, but that doesn't mean we have to stop having fun! I know many of you took a lot of pictures over the summer and can't wait to show 'em off, so let's get our online portfolios off and running.
First, join the new Flickr group for Photo 2 by clicking the link on the right. (If you don't have a flickr account, click here for directions on how to set one up. To make sure you're in, I'd like you to leave a brief statement about your goals for this year and tell me a little bit about them on the Discussion page. Post this goal by next Tuesday, 9/8.
Second, be a curator and choose 6-8 pictures taken over the summer that you're most proud of. (If you didn't shoot anything over the summer, than you have a little work to do over the weekend-see below). Create a new set/tag for these photos, and be prepared to share your work starting next Wed. 9/9.
Lastly, take a look at the artist Miranda July's blog "Learning to Love You More" at the link here. July is an artist who believes that people have a moral obligation to have a deeper, more meaningful understanding of themselves and their surroundings. She created this blog as a way for anyone to give him or herself an assignment that would encourage this deeper understanding. Choose 3 of the assignments from the list below to complete by carefully following July's instructions, (if you didn't upload any summer photos, you need to complete 5 of them!) Post your results to Flickr by Wed. 9/9, and include any important written commentary in the comment section that helps explain your solution! Have fun!
Assignments:
9. Draw a constellation from someone's freckles.
no. 11. Photograph a scar and write about it.
no. 23. Recreate this snapshot.
no. 27. Take a picture of the sun.
no. 30. Take a picture of strangers holding hands.
no. 50. Take a flash photo under your bed.
