Where has the time gone??

We are almost at the point where our semester will be over.  As usual, we are running short of time to complete everything that I had wanted to cover in class, so I'm going to make some revisions to our syllabus to accommodate my optimistic understanding of what we would have time for. 

Tonight; Nov. 24th.
We will work to complete any bits of work that you need to finish to put your still life portfolios togther to turn in.  Remember that these need to have your negatives, contact proof sheet, trial prints and test strips that show evidence of your practice with sepia toning and handcoloring, two final sepia toned and handcolored prints along with a brief written statement that addresses which technique you thought worked the best for you and whether or not you feel the addition of sepia tone and handcoloring helped or hurt your images. 

We will also work to develop your portrait negatives and work towards getting two final portrait prints. If you believe that your final portrait prints would look better sepia toned and/or handcolored, this will be available for you to use on your prints.  These prints will be the last ones that are required in your summative portfolio. 

We will also work toward getting ready for our critique.  For this critique you should have ready to display your two still life final prints and your two final portrait prints for a total of four final prints for critique. 

December 1st:
This will be our last critique.  After the critique I will distribute the take home written final and demonstrate the tone drop out technique that will be your demonstration final for the semester.  The requirements for your summative portfolio will be discussed.

Summative Portfolio Requirements are:
1.  Final landscape print
2.  Final two selective focus prints; one that shows wide depth of field and one that shows    narrow depth of field.
3.  Final two motion prints: one that shows blurred or captured motion and one that shows stopped motion.
4.  Final two still life prints.
5.  Final two portrait prints.
6.  One final tone drop out print from your performance final that you will perform and finish next week.

This is a total of 10 prints.

December 8th:
You will have time in class to perform your demonstration final in the darkroom.  For this you will need your portrait negatives, your technique sheet that addresses the tone drop out technique and your 8x10" photo paper.  You should turn in your completed take home written final along with your summative portfolio for grading. 

This is our last day of scheduled class.  Graded Summative Portfolios may be picked up when you deliver your camera to Ms. Werner on or before 12/10. 

On a personal note:
I have so very much enjoyed teaching this class this semester.  I have enjoyed watchng your progress in class and seeing your personal application of this medium begin to take shape.  I hope that you will consider signing up for Photo 2 ... creative shooting, printing and materials are explored to a greater length in this class. 

Enjoy your second semester classes!
