Choose your favorite painting, sculpture, artist, and recreate your favorite piece using whatever photography means you feel you need. The sky is the limit. Pose your friends, use the studio, Lightroom or PhotoShop as you see fit. Your assignment is to "re"capture the image using your own tool - your camera.
What I'm looking for:
1. Lighting
2. Composition
3. Accuracy (within reason)
4. Attitude (serious? humorous?)
5. Research TWO artists and the work they create that you are interested in "re"capturing through the medium of Photography. Post both artists and their images on your blog and give them due credit.
6. Your final piece will be saved at a resolution of 300 , not larger than 8 x 10, and posted, side by side, with the original art/artist you selected.
You can work with a partner ONLY if both of you are in the final capture, and upon teacher approval. Set up and location is important so choose your image carefully. Think about using the Photography Studio and think about needed props to make the image come alive.
5. Have fun, please. Always important…
Due date: 10/18
