PHOTOGRAPHY RESEARCH PROJECT Graphic Design
Due
Choose two artists you would like to research and present to the class. The artists may be exclusively photographers or they can be artists who create different types of artwork including photography. At least one of the artists should be living and working now.
Part I Outline: In an outline format, please include the following information:
· Artist’s name
· where and when he/she was born and where the/she lives and works now
· university/art school he/she attended
· type of photography artist does (documentary, photojournalism, street, portraits, etc)
Part II: Write this information/ answer questions in complete sentences
· What ideas is the artist interested in? What is the work about?
· How does the artists’ style and picture-taking process connect to the concepts/ideas of the artwork?
· Why are you are interested, drawn to, and/or moved by the artist’s images?
Part II: Power Point Presentation- Choose 1 artist
· Create a simple power point displaying 4 photographs by the artist
· Images should be large and high-quality
· Develop 2 questions for the viewers to answer and/or think about for each artwork
· Describe the work- including concepts, subject matter, process, etc (basically tell us why these images are cool and what they are about so we can understand them better)
