Due to Inventory visits we will be without our laptop cart for an undisclosed amount of time. I am going to list some options for photography projects that you can do alone or as a group since we will not have access to our computers for an unknown period of time. I am guessing that we will only have time to complete one of these projects, but depending on time, we may be able to complete more than one. If you or your group complete more than one project, any additional work will be counted as extra credit. Documentation of a Quiet Space:Working ALONE, I want you to find quiet spots within this school to document. Our school is busting at the seems with students at all times. It's rare to find an empty hallway or an empty courtyard or a completely quiet classroom with students who are diligently working. I want you to try to capture quiet spaces within our school showing the best of what our school is. Try to emphasize the architecture or the classroom spaces within the school. www.aestheticamagazine.com/documenting-quiet-spaces/ Recreate a famous work of art in a modern motif:Working in a group (only enough people to be in the actual photo - this project could be done alone as well) pick 1 or 2 famous works of art and try to put a modern spin on them using actual people and props to set up the same composition. The image you take should definitely resemble or represent the original work of art but the people and the clothing or the space could be more contemporary. Celebrating DiversityOur world is one full of diversity and our school represents a small portion of that world. At school, working alone or with one other person, I want you to engage with other students here that represent various cultures, races, and sexual orientation to document the beauty of diversity in our student and staff body here at SPHS. Try to get either group shots showing a wide diverse group of students that may not normally pose together and are not already a close group of friends. Set up your shots so that there is a minimal amount of background distractions. Be kind and respectful and try to see the beauty in the different clothing we choose to wear, the different hairstyles, the different body types, facial expressions, etc. Each participant in your photos should be actively participating in them - not randomly walking up to someone and taking their picture without permission. Avoid cliche, cheesy group photos. You can create a collage of individual faces or create one or two groups shots showing a diverse group of students (maybe sitting on different levels or staircases for example....)
