Research+assignments

These will ultimately be your journals. However in essence, it is research that helps us understand history, and modern societal issues and contexts. This is what we draw upon as responsible artists. You must evaluate the work of others and be able to respond to your environment as well as the condition of the world around you.

In this first unit, we will examine The Human Condition.

What does this mean to you? Is this an evolving definition or is it fixed? It is a broad topic however, it is the separate components of this topic that become muses.

Please find three influential photographers that you feel have addressed the human condition. You may find that it is hard to discrimintate between The human condition and A human condition.

Please write a short essay on each photographers' work while adressing: Style Design and composition Intent Concept Effectiveness How you feel about the work

Please refer to photography websites and magazines as well as links I have previously given you. I keep PDN on the bottom shelf of the central island in the room.
