Gallery Trip - Photographer Paper Assignment:

This assignment has three parts.  The first part involves analyzing the actual photograph.

Step 1)   Pick one image from the show that you have chosen to visit.

While you are at the gallery looking at the photograph, write down its title and photographer.  Write down any observations you make, and fill out the critique form (you may need more space than what is provided on your sheet for your answers).

Step 2)   At home and in the library, do some research on your photographer.  Who are they?  When were they the most active?  What kind of photography do they typically produce?  Were they part of any particular movement? What kind of camera were they using?  Try to create a short biography of their life and work.

Step 3)  Create a short essay (1-2 pages) by combining the information you have collected from Step 1 and Step 2.  If you need some help organizing your essay, begin by stating who the photographer is, what kind of photography they do, then talk about the photograph you saw in the show and your observations of it.  Finish up the essay by giving some remarks – how did learning more about the photographer effect the way you feel about the photograph you chose? Do you wish you could have seen more of their work? Etc, etc, make up some of your own conclusions.
