Final Project
"A.K.A. D.I.Y."

This is your final assigned project.

For this project you are to create your own project.

At first glance this may seem a bit of a cop-out, but in fact this is the single most difficult thing to do as a photographer/artist.

Once outside of the academic structure, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get honest feedback or criticism. This means that you have to trust yourself completely in your artistic endeavors in order to justify the time and expense, as well as the possibility of public humiliation or ridicule if your work is not met with favorable review.

To insure your success, it is important to have a plan, look at that plan from every angle, and then to throw caution to the wind and try to execute that plan.

You must write out a proposal and bring it to me NEXT week!


Your Proposal:

Ask yourself the questions; who, what, why, where, when...etc... If you can keep answering those questions, then you need to keep thinking. Try to determine how you want your viewer to see the images.

Try a quick-write to get the ideas out of your head. Use adjectives!

Don't over-think the problem! This can end up as death of the creative spirit, so do what you can to work it out, then just go do it.

The final quantity, size, and materials will be determined by your idea and/or the subject.
