Dates:

Proposal: Wednesday, 10/29
Prelim: Wednesday, 11/5

Final: Wednesday, 11/12

Create a body of work that explores the human form in some way. These can be portraits, abstractions of the body, nudes, theatrical, conceptual, or other. Work toward a cohesive group of images that are aesthetically and conceptually related. Plan to submit between 5-7 final images, in print form as well as digital (jpegs 1200).

Create most appropriate studio lighting design to support your images, high key, low key, or otherwise. 

Proposal should consists of 1 paragraph describing your concept, subject(s) and approach, and 1 paragraph that mentions and describes the lighting approaches of at least two well-established artists who work with the human form in a compelling way...how will they inspire your project?

Work will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Original, inspiring, and creative idea/concept/approach
• Quality of lighting design
• Quality of photographic design
• Technical (camera, lighting, file management, etc.)
• Deliverables (prints, files, etc.)
• Growth of the project over the course of the assignment

Proposal, prelim and final critiques will be graded.
