I know many of you are very familiar with instagram and some of you use it regularly. But this was a collaboration project that you read about. We will be doing the same thing in class.

On your blog please answer the following questions:

1. What theme, that we could take here at school and think of one for OFF campus too, could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?

Our next assignments will be to shoot the group-decided theme and to create a mural like this - each group will have its own and we will print them here in this room. We will use butcher paper to mount the photos on. We will take all the photos and I will help print them here in class. Then we will hang the murals around campus (if I can figure out how to get them to stick places. Maybe we can put them on the lockers or something). You should start brainstorming ideas on what your subject might be....remember they have to be taken on campus. I will share some ideas with you.


Great Black and White Photographers PART 3

Today's Assignment - blog title 

Great Black and White Photographers part 3:

I want to know more about your selection for your favorite Black and White Photographer. Read the following directions CAREFULLY!!! For those people that did not do the previous assignments, they are still on the Bowiephotojblog and you can go back and complete them for credit on this assignment.

Do NOT sit and do nothing today. Everyone should complete some sort of Great Black and White Photographer assignment today.

On your blog please create a post with the following information:

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see
I smell
I hear
I taste
I feel

You can do this in 2 ways. You can either put yourself in the photo and pretend your standing next to the subjects in the photo. I know smell and taste are hard but you can do it.

Or, you can pretend you were the photographer and use those same senses.

On the one titled - I feel - you may either touch things in your photo (imagination please!!) or you can tell me what you (yes, you in the real world) feel or felt the first time you saw the photo, or how it makes you feel when you look at it now.

BE REFLECTIVE HERE - try to be descriptive, try to write more than you think you can. One sentence per prompt is NOT ENOUGH, write at LEAST 3 sentences per!!! Write more, if you think its enough, its NOT.

3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.
