Below is the typical routine for the critique cycles:
Fridays are the introduction days of new topics including aesthetics, techniques, ways of shooting, ways of processing (apps), etc. (except for the first week of the semester). You should study and absorb this information quickly and, in a day or two, start shooting, processing and posting your photos to the class blog. You should shoot and post every day. That is part of the routine of this class.
You can only really learn this by thinking, shooting, posting on an ongoing manner [think, make, share]. This is an Art Studio course and it utilizes ‘experiential learning’ that is quite different from ‘book learning’ as in most academic classes. Because of this, it is not possible to cram for a studio class. You cannot wait unit the day before the Critique is due to shoot everything. If you try this you will never learn how to shoot properly let alone how to think about what you are shooting. Do not cheat yourself out of the education you are paying for.
note: All handouts mentioned below are easily accessible on the Professor’s web site
The general rhythm of this class is as follows:
- learn the new topics, incorporate them into your way of seeing, shooting, processing...
- look at other people’s work of a similar ilk (research)
- > link to Research Pages (more about this later...)
- shoot, process & post photographs every day, at least 2 per day to start, then increase
You should post at least 2 shots per day at the beginning of the semester
8 active days of shooting and posting = 16 photos for Crit 1
10 active days of shooting and posting = 20 photos for Crit 2
This should increase to 3 shots per day by the 3rd crit
10 active days of shooting and posting = 30 photos for Crit 3 and Crit 4
When you are ready to start shooting you should first review all the documents that apply to the Aesthetics of Shooting, including;
- > link to Framing & Composition
- > link to Shooting Self-Portraits
- > link to Intuitive vs. Directed Shooting
- > link to Passive/ Active Shooting
- > link to Photo Clichés
You have at least two full weeks to shoot, process and post photos. The weekends are optional.
Mondays of the third following week are the due date for your Critique photos.
Before this date you should go through everything that has been posted on-line (there should be more that the minimum number of prints already on-line) and edit down to the actual number of prints due (or a little bit over if desired).
- the full number of prints required for the critique should now be uploaded
- add numbers above each of your prints so people can easily vote for their favorite
• add a RECIPE of your best photo so people cane learn from how you are working
include then names of any apps used and the relevant settings
*note: the first Critique for Monday ~ Tuesday 9/14-15 is pushed back to Tuesday ~ Wednesday 9/15-16 for Religious Holiday
Tuesdays are the days to look at and make commentary on the photos of your classmates.
- look at other people’s photos and comment on them
- base the commentary on 3 criteria: content, form, impact [3 Disciplines]
- tell any story that the photos remind you of:
(sharing personal experience: resonance)
- cast a vote for each person in the class indicating which shot you think is their best
note: no one will want to comment on your photos if you do not comment on theirs.
This is another variation of the Golden Rule.
Thursdays are the days that your self-evaluations are due
- review all the comments you have received
- write a synopsis of that commentary, again based on 3 criteria: content, form, impact
- there is a handout explaining how to write a self-evaluation using these three concepts
- determine which of your prints is the best (according to peer voting)
• This photo is designated your POW (Picture of the Week)
- include the POW in the Self-Evaluation document
• e-mail the finished Self-Evaluation document to the professor in MS Word format
- add your best photo to your Digital Portfolio folder in OWbLox
Fridays are also the days when the next topic will be posted and the cycle starts over again...
note: these topics will most likely be amended based on the interests of the group as evidenced by the photographs that are posted.
note: All students must participate and complete all phases of each Critique cycle. Failure to complete any segment results in failure of the entire critique.
