Work hard: no extra time will be given!

Research the photography work of Lewis Hine and the photography work Dorthea Lange.

Create 1 slideshow (using PowerPoint or Prezi.com) about both of these two photographers. It should be a REALLY good presentation!

You should have at least 10 photographs for each photographer in your slide show AND interesting facts about each of their lives.

In your own words explain how Lewis Hine contributed to history.
In your own words explain how Dorthea Lange contributed to history.
*Be specific, your statements about how Hine contributed to history should not be the exact same as your statements about how Lange contributed to history. Include these statements in your slideshow.

Choose one photograph and write a personal aesthetic response to that photograph.
*What do you think these artists intended/hoped a viewers response would be?
*Were they successful? Why or why not?
*Use historical evidence to defend your claim.

Post to your blog

If you finish early, re-read the assignment to make sure you have all of the components.

Then, you may create freestyle art for your portfolio.

Continue to create an Art Alphabet book.  Remember that they should be THEMED–not random.  You can use Pixlr or hand drawn images….whichever you use, your images should be high quality–Not “thrown together junk.” Upload your progress to your blog before you leave today.

 

Start to create an Art Alphabet book.

Use Pixlr.com Advanced to help you create pages.
You will create 1 page at a time.  You do not have to complete the whole alphabet today.
*Use the paint tools to design an artistic alphabet.  Be sure to add “more” brushes!
*You might try to model your letters after different styles: Minimalism, Abstract, Surreal…
*You can theme your book about art in general or some aspect of art…but you need a theme. 
*You can use photos of famous art work and artists off the internet, but you have to do something more with those images–integrate them in some interesting way.
*create rhymes and/or phrases to go with each letter
*Save each page you make as its own file…upload it to your blog as you soon as you finish it.
*You do not have to start with “A”
*You can draw things for your alphabet as well, then photograph them and add text online.
*You can use the internet for research and art images, but your final creation and writing must be your own.
*It does not have to be for kids (see Shel Silversein’s alphabet pages–not for kids)
*It might be funny/spoof.

Post what you create on your blog.
