Intermediae Photography
Assignment #6 - Final Project

Please hand in this sheet in a protective plastic sleeve together with your proof sheet(s) taped to the back of your mounted prints. Otherwise, slide your prints into a polyethylene or polypropylene storage bags together with your proof sheet(s) and this sheet.

Assignment Description:
I don't know why, but it has been my experience that sometimes talking about your ideas creates obstacles. Therefore, for this project I want you to keep the idea for your project top secret. Write down on a sheet of paper the general theme of your work. During the final critique we will open the envelopes while looking at your photographs to see how your series have evolved from the original idea.

Hand in three or more 11 x 14 fiber base prints that comprise the beginning of a series. They should be either mounted or attached to the bottom board with large archival corners. Cut a window mat for each print. Toning is optional.

Assignment Objective:
The teacher's primary goal is to get each student to the point where they are self-motivated artists. This project is an introduction to that freedom and responsibility. We will endeavor to begin a series. Both subject matter and formal approach should demonstrate a conscious continuity. In other words, they should fit together. Do not hand in unrelated pictures. Please be aware that a series is not the same as a narrative. A series does not relate an explicit story.

Suggestions:
Explore any of the techniques or themes thus far examined in this class. Also, if you wish to concentrate on other areas of photography feel free to do so.

Evaluation Criteria:
Craftsmanship - Sharpness
Exposure (full shadow and highlight detail)
Contrast (a solid black, a bright white, and a full range of gray values)
Value (appropriate lightness / darkness)
Needs dodging and/or burning
Cleanness (no dust, water spots, scratches)
Mounting (clean and straight edges parallel to board, well adhered, no heat damage)
Print damage

Aesthetic / Conceptual refinement (accomplishes assignment description and meets objective)
