Where do we see photographs, view photographs, find photographs? Choose one theme or idea discussed in this unit and expand upon it for your thesis.
We have discussed photography within the venues of:
- early public spaces (i.e. salons)
- in print
- on the street (YOU ARE DOING THIS)
- in museums and public collections
- on the internet/social media
Full assignment information:
For each unit you will create a digital research project (via Prezi/PowerPoint/etc.), each serving as a persuasive writing/research assignment that requires you to engage with the units theme.. For each unit you will craft a thesis based upon one (or more) topics from that unit. You will determine photographic works to include and annotate them with written text. You will build your project with 6-8 individual/unique works that are supported by research.
Digital Research Projects are marked down by 5 percentage points each day late.
All digital research projects will include the following:
- Front page/slide with your name, date, course number, and project title
- An introductory page of no less than 250 words explaining your theme and project
- Six to eight pages follow, with one unique work on each page. Proper captions include: artist, title, date, photographic medium, dimensions (if known), and collecting institution (if known); each work will include an annotation of no less than 100 words to explain the works presence and importance to your theme
- A list of cited research completes your project; each project must include at least two sources gleaned through YOUR SCHOOL Libraries resources. These can be books (online/paper), and/or articles found through databases.
- A reflection paper (see below)
- Proper source citations are required. Please refer to The Chicago Manual of Style 17th ed. to format all footnotes, endnotes, captions, and bibliographic references. For advice on when, where, and how to cite sources, see see
You will write a reflection paper (and upload it at the same time) to complete this project:
One way to retain and strengthen academic learning is to reflect upon the process. Asking ourselves the following questions creates a stronger loop of intention/research/outcome:
- how did it (the research/writing/organizing) go? what did I learn? what were my roadblocks? what “clicked” into place to make this a strong project?
Consider some of these questions, or ask yourself other questions, to write your reflection paper based upon the digital exhibit you’re turning in. There are no right or wrong answers here, just reflection and purpose.
Failure to use proper citation will result in a lowered assignment grade. Repeated occurrence or blatant disregard could indicate plagiarism, which automatically results in a failing grade for the assignment, potential referral to the Office of Student Conduct, and possible removal from the course. It is your responsibility to become familiar with citing courses: complete proper citations are required on all assignments.
IMPORTANT MUST READ:
You are doing street photography. Go to the attachment Week 7 Street Photography. You must read and watch the links in order for you to do this assignment. NOTE: You must use my school library for the annotations, you can use a few infromation i gave you from the WEEK 7 STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, but i highly suggest you find the information from the school library. This attachment is only for you to understand what street photography is. So for the 2 resources you must use my school library. So since you have no access to my school library you MUST message me here on what topic you want to research on. Once you tell me I will then research it in my school library, and I will send you screenshots of the options in my school library. From there you choose which one you want to see, then I proceed to download the file and send it for you to read. For this assignment I recommend you using museum sources or JSTOR/ARTSTOR.ORG to find high quality image. There are some information on how to get the high quality images as well the information about the image under the attachments. Please look into that. If you have anymore questions or need more info please let me know.
