Final Critique / Thursday, May 7 from 6-8pm on Zoom

Final critique on Thursday, May 7 from 6-8pm on Zoom.  Invitation and Meeting ID sent by email.

Week 15 / Tuesday, April 28 and Thursday, April 30

Your final project submissions are due on Thursday, April 30 and please follow all of the instructions outlined below.  Your 12 images should be accompanied by a final project statement based on the proposal you submitted previously. Please revise this statement to reflect the completed series.  

A final critique is scheduled on Tuesday, May 5 from 10:30am – 12:30pm on Zoom. 

Part of your grade for the project will be based on following all of these steps for submission. Submissions received after April 30 will be marked down ½ letter grade per day late. 

Attach 12 images directly to an email (or multiple emails if necessary) as JPEGS– you don’t need to use OneDrive 

Images should be renamed with your full name and numbers 1 - 12 like this: temastauffer_01.jpeg, temastauffer_02.jpeg, temastauffer_03.jpeg

Images must be saved a JPEGS and resized with a resolution of 72ppi and 800px on the longest side

The only exception for renaming and resizing files is for those who shot and need to send images directly from their phones – if this is a case, please note this in your email 

Include your project statement as a Word Doc attachment with your JPEGS files

Put in subject line of email: Your name / Final Project

Week 14 / April 21 and April 23

Thank you to everyone who sent me your images last week and completed your SAIs for the course.  Please send me approximately 3-5 images again this week to review your work-in-progress.  I will send out instructions next week about how to submit your final images ahead of the deadline on April 30.

It’s important to send me images this week. Failure to send work-in-progress will negatively impact your grade for your final project.

Also, for those whose projects are focusing on how the pandemic is changing our lives and social landscape, please read information at the link below about contributing your images to an archive called Telling Your Story: Documenting COVID-19 in East Tennessee.  You are invited to contribute your perspective and become a part of history.

Due to the precautions about the safety of the ETSU community, all classes will be conducted online for the remainder of the spring semester. Please see the adapted assignments and expectations below.

B)    Do you have internet access at home?

C)    Does your digital device have a camera and microphone?

Assignment #4 Change the Meaning of a Photography with Digital Tools

Change the meaning of a photography by altering the social, racial, ethnic, sexual/gender identity, or age of subject(s). These can be your own images or found images. Please send me two jpegs by email by Thursday, April 2 – one jpeg of the original image and one jpegs of the altered image.  I will post these images on the blog for the class to see.

Final Project Proposals
