Photographs are a visual expression of a concept or a simple documentation of an artist's expressions. Photography explores through a technical medium the relation between the real and the artificial. In this introductory class students will learn the basics of visual storytelling through black and white photography. Through the theme of the self, students will shoot, process, and print their work that will comprise their end-of-term portfolio. Shooting a number of rolls on 35mm cameras, students will produce weekly contact sheets from which they will cull their best photographs, all of which are self-reflective in subject matter. Other work is comprised of a process book in which they brainstorm and reflect on the learning experience, mistakes, and breakthroughs. Students are expected to participate in class by critiquing the works of others and listening to critiques of their work. Students gain insight into the concept of perception, that of others and their own, and how we all make meaning from this imagery.

Ideas

Topics:
1.) Compliment that made you smile
2.) Proudest moment
3.) An emotion I experience lot

Ideas:
Compliment that made you smile:
One idea is to write the compliment on the persons cheek so the smile can be seen in the picture. Depending on the compliment-ability, personality,etc, I can set up different pictures. Compliments can also be written on paper with objects representing them

Proudest moment:
Take pictures of sports trophies either my brother or I have collected over the seasons and the bracelet I wore every game for luck. Also another idea is to take a picture of peoples emotions while exciting moments are happening.

Frequently experienced emotion:
Everyone tells me that i am always a happy person so I chose happiness. People smiling, happy, enthusiastic with a bright, hopeful, exciting background.
