List of Five Artists

In preparation for the 10/10 in 2 Assignment, I want you to research artists from the list.  From your research, you should create a list of five potential artists that you are interested in for the the assignment.  List each of the five artists, along with a decent reason for why you would be interested in doing a presentation on that particular artist.  Your list will be due on Thursday by the end of class.  It will also provide fall-back options, should your primary choice be taken.

In addition to the list, provided with the assignment, the below artists are also approved for the assignment.

Ansel Adams
Matthew Brady
Herb Ritts

Robert Frank

John Heartfield

Lazlo Moholy-Nagy

Weegee

Lucas Samaras
Juergen Teller
Ralph Eugene Meatyard
Richard Misrach
Laura Williams
Julie Blackmon
Todd Hido

Lab #3 Proof Sheet

The proofing lab will be your check-off for shoot #1, film processing, as well as, how to make a contract print (proof sheet).

Once your film is processed, dry, and placed into a protective sleeve, you will want to make a contact print of the negative page.  Test strip for exposure, and proof the negative page.  After your print is dry, put your name & class period on the back in black sharpie. Turn finished work into your class tray by Friday September 21st.
