Photography Formal Writing Project

http://digphoto.wikispaces.com/00+List+of+Influential+Photographers

Click on the link above for everything you'll need for our formal writing assignment. Use the list to find a photographer's work which you would like to

You will analyze the sensory, technical, design, and expressive qualities of a photograph by an influential photographer. You will havequestions from Duke University's visual literacy program as a guide. You can turn your rough drafts in as soon as you're ready, but they are due on Friday, April 8. 

It should end up being relatively easy since you basically just have to look at a picture and answer questions. Meanwhile, it will subconsciously be training your eyes and brain to look at things in a different way AND expose you to at least one (if not a few) important photographers throughout history! Have fun and don't freak out about it. Good luck.

I will get you some new reading/learning and shooting assignments tomorrow, but don't forget that you also need to be working on your portfolios that will be due in May, http://digphoto.wikispaces.com/Portfolios

Boyer Valley Students recognized at WVC Art Show

The Western Valley Conference (WVC) Art Show was held in Moeville, Iowa Thursday, March 24. Thirteen of the nineteen schools in the conference participated. Each school was permitted to enter as many as fifty artworks. The show was juried by judges from the Sioux City Art Center and Morningside College.

BV Senior Melissa Hanigan received a Judge's choice award for her interpretation of Boccioni, Umberto's 1912 futurist painting, "Elastic." Junior Madison McDonough also received a judge's award for her photograph of Natalie Lapke. Junior Rosario Nelson was honored with a teacher's choice award for her ceramic sculpture of a praying angel.

Other Boyer Valley students who submitted drawings, paintings, photos, and sculptures included Freshmen Katie Cogdill and Chelsey Kermin; Juniors Makayla Carter and William McClure; and Seniors Stephanie Brink, Lucas Neilsen and Nick Sullivan.

Students from Westwood, Ridge View, OA/BCIG, and Whiting won first place for each class level. Senior Dalton Peterson from Woodbine won Best of Show. 

Next year the WVC Art Show will be hosted jointly by ArWeVa and OA/BCIG and is expected to be held in Ida Grove on the third Thursday in March. Boyer Valley is slated to host the conference art show in 2013.

Drawing: Formal Writing Assignment

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do have to write a paper for Drawing class- but don't fret, it will be short (only 1-3 pages), it won't require a bunch of research or a lot of sources (it's going to be mostly your own opinions), and I'm providing you with a pre-formated template- complete with questions to guide you through.

First, select a draftsman (that's the technical term for someone who draws) from the list of Important and Influential Draftsmen found at http://drawing-and-seeing.wikispaces.com/Influential+Draftsmen.  On the top of the page, there's a link that lets you download the template, open it and save it in your school folder (or click here http://drawing-and-seeing.wikispaces.com/file/view/DrawingFormalWritingAssignment.doc) 

Then, select one example of the artist’s work, which you will analyze. Search for images with the artist’s name, please insert the image which you use below the title of your paper.

Use the questions for each paragraph to help you along. Answer as many of them as you can. If there are any which you can’t answer, skip them- but be sure to write at least 3-5 sentences for each paragraph. It will probably be easier for you to work with or without the questions because you're already familiar with the 4 steps in Art Criticism.

I will give you class time next week (Mar 18-21) to work on it. The papers aren't due until Friday, April 1.
