For this project, you will be researching one of the photographers on the list below. You are to then create a Google Presentation (under your school email) about them to share with your classmates with 8 photographs of theirs and twelve photos of yours (three will be recreating their photo). Share the presentation with me at kellymoncure@vistausd.org as lastname-firstname-artistlastname-period#
The presention must include the following information:
Slide 1. Title Page- artist name and your name
Slide 2. Artist name, date and place of birth and/or death, as well as a photograph of them.
Slide 3. What they are known for- commercial, fine art, documentary, war photography? Explain what that career is (what does it mean to be a commercial photographer/ fine art photographer/ documentary?)
Slide 4. Interesting details about them, such as, where they went to school, what they are best known for, characteristics of their work…what makes them unique? What made them famous? What makes them different then the other photographers out there?
Slides 5- 9. Five images of their work, with the title and date. Try and get as high resolution images as possible, and be sure it is definitely by that artist and not “in the style of”. Make sure you include their most well known photograph!! Include within your speech any information you can find about the photographs, specifically what it is of, where were they made, was this part of a photo series, who was the client, where was it published- you will be discussing it within your presentation. Make sure these are high resolution images.
Slides 10- 22 Your twelve photographs emulating the style of the photographer. You must include three where you have recreated the specific composition of three of their photographs- make sure they are different then the previous five that you showed already (so that you show eight total of your photographer's work), and the other nine in their style. Think about using appropriate props/ clothing. Discuss in your presentation how you were emulating their photographic style.
Slide 23. Your personal opinion of the artist- what made you choose that person? What is it that you
like about their style? What did you learn about your own photography versus their photography? (must be in complete sentences and in paragraph form)
Slide 24. Sources listed- no wikipedia! Must have three or more sources with the website's proper name and url. If the photographer has their own personal website, it must be included within your sources!
Slide design should emulate the style of the photographer- for example, a presentation on Sandy Skoglund might be playful and colorful. Extra kudos if you find anything on video about them that you can share a short clip (~ 2 minutes) of within your presentation.
Be sure that the slide design background doesn't distract from the photographs that you are presenting- only use a colored background (not a photograph) when presenting a photograph by yourself or your photographer.
Your twelve edited photographs should go in the 11-14-17 Photographer Research folder within the shared folder, saved as lastname-firstname-photographerlastname1, 2, 3, 4, 5.jpg
Please note: if your photograph isn't going onto Google Slides, it may be because of two reasons:
A. It's saved as a photoshop file- so merge the layers and save as a jpeg.
B. It's larger then 10 MB- so open up in Photoshop, go to image size, and change the resolution to 200 and decrease the size to get it less then 10 MB (not much further though- say, 9 mb). Save it as lastname-firstname-artistname-smaller.jpg so that you can differentiate that it's smaller and still keep the original file.
