Class Objective: Explore digital photography and its creative possibilities; as artists and as educators. Learn to understand photography as an instrument that helps us “see”. Understand the difference between taking pictures, making pictures and placing pictures.
Sequence:
Online Assignment (OA) #1: Revisit Homework: Look at each others homework and give comments. Leave a minimum of 7 thoughtful comments, which provide feedback to the work as well as recommend ways to take the work further. Indicate on your blog who you gave comments to and share in a few sentences your take-away from looking at each other’s assignments. Due: Feb 12, 6:00 PM.OA #2: Explore each others outcomes from the digital painting exploration. What are your take-aways? Revisit the assignment and respond to the question: How could you push this assignment further? What would you do differently now? Where would you want to go next? Respond with a post on your blog. Due: Feb 12, 6:00 PM
OA #3: What are ways to sensibly incorporate digital drawing and painting in an art class? How do you imagine it to be done? Come up with a lesson plan idea and post it on your blog. Be specific. Due: Feb 12, 6:00 PM
OA #4: Explore Digital Photography I. Assignment (20 min): grab a camera, get up, walk around (regardless of where you are, in your apartment, at your workplace, outside, in your neighborhood), notice something, take one picture ((while being aware of what you notice; choose carefully). Share the picture on your blog. What did you notice? Explain the observation (1 paragraph) that led you to take this picture. Due: Feb 11, 6:00 PM
OA #5: Explore Digital Photography II. As a next step: Come up with 2 interesting ideas about what you would like to do with this image, where you would like to go from here, artistically. Use our Moodle space and the assignment that I have set up (Discussion Forum OA#5), “add a new topic", post your image (as an attachment) and describe both ideas. Due: Feb 12, 6:00 PM. When you are done, give each other feedback on the image (like in a "critique") and comment on the artistic potential of the two ideas.
OA #6: Explore Digital Photography III. You shared your image with us, came up with 2 ideas where to go from here, and given and gotten feedback on it (please continue if you haven’t participated in this step yet). As a next step, let us go social. Share your image with an external community and document (through screenshots) where you took the image or where the image took you. Feel free to use your initial image or one that’s altered by your idea or the feedback you received. Here are a few possibilities for you to consider: Instagram, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, Behance, or any other space online you would like to work with. Share your report through a blog entry on your individual blog, due: Feb 16, 6:00 PM. Due: Feb 16, 6:00 PM
OA #7: Share 1-2 paragraphs of observation from the reading (Lankshear&Knobel: New literacies and social practices of digital remixing", see Moodle) on your blog. Due: Feb 16. 6:00 PM
OA #8: Research 1 photographer who uses photography creatively. Share the outcome on your blog. Due: Feb 17. 12:00 PM
OA#9: Think about digital photography as a medium, about its materiality and process, and in which way it lends itself to art-making. Make 3 connections to children. Be thoughtful in your observations and post the outcome on your blog. Due: Feb 17. 12:00 PM
