Gordon Parks Field Trip


Just a reminder we will be meeting at the Computer Lab at 9 am tomorrow. Id like to leave 5 or 10 minutes after so please do not be late. 

Please try to car pool as much as you can, save gas, and have more social time.  All is good there. 


Our tour starts at 11am, just so you know.  I assume we will be meeting in the front reception area for the tour, but I am not sure.  Ill ask today. 

Parking – if you park immediately outside the Amon Carter you will have to pay.  It isn’t much, just a couple bucks, but still.  If you want free parking, I suggest parking at the Free lot in front of the Modern Art Museum.  You get to it off Darnell street.  You’ll have to walk about a block to the Amon Carter museum, but it is not bad.

Project 4 Multiples



Objects Owned by Introverts - Kristy Peet 2018

For the next couple weeks, we will explore strategies that result in a single image, composite, or collage that is comprised of multiple images.  We will explore the following creative solutions, one at a time.  

1.  HDRI (end of the day 10/17)
2.  Diptych (end of the day 10/24)
3.  Multiples (grid, composite, layered, etc...due BEGINNING of the day 11/5)

We will announce the due dates for each step as we move along.  

Concept

Your assignment for each step is elevating a quotidian object or scene to elevate it to something visually extraordinary. (taking something that isn’t particularly interesting to look at and through your photographic decisions making it something interesting to look at). Think about this project in terms of both subject matter and technical process.
