Your assignment for next Wednesday's class is to go out and explore. Spend time observing an area of the city that you have not spent much time in before. Build a collection of at least 25-30 photos, 5 sketches, and 5 objects that you find along the way. Look for different things to photograph so that your collection has variety and contrast. Think about the visual layering of beautiful vs. ugly, empty vs. stacked/full, new vs. old, organic vs. geometric, nature vs. man made. Take some photographs from a distance, some up close. These photos, drawings, and objects will serve as raw material for later work.
*****Remember to take photographs in the highest resolution/image size possible********. If you are not sure how to do this on your camera, consult your instruction booklet or email me.
In class on Wednesday we will load the images onto your computers, scan the drawings from your sketchbooks, and scan the objects.
Be prepared to load your images into your computer during class. This means bringing any necessary equipment (usb connector cable or memory card reader) to class with you. You will also need your thumb drive/memory stick and a notebook to take notes. We will be covering much information on image gathering and it will be important that you are able to go back and refer to notes later on.
