Thanks for a great class everyone! I hope you enjoyed the workshop in the library and Special Collections. The library is a wonderful resource, and the items we got a chance to see in Special collections really are a rare treat! I wish you luck and fun as you complete your homework this week.
In a below post, are the"rules" of composition that I introduced in class. You should feel encouraged to do more research on these. There are entire classes devoted to this stuff, so it's important to start paying attention to, using, and experimenting with these important elements of visual language. You will be expected to consider and talk about these through all of the visual work you make in this course. We will learn, together, as we go along.
For next week, you will need photoshop on your laptop. We will be doing in-class demonstrations, so this is very important. If you do not already have it, You can download a 30 day free trial from the Adobe website to save money. See the email I sent out last week for more info. Note: You will need Premiere on week 5, and you will likely need Photoshop and/or Premiere for your final project (and possibly the year, and your academic and professional careers). So you'll have to make a decision about what makes the most sense for you.
Your homework assignment, 'ZINE, is listed under the "Surveillance" page of this blog under "Week 2." Please also take some time to check out the examples of artists using collage and montage listed.
We will talk about Medium is the Massage in class next week, so please make sure to review it and your responses before then. If you haven't done so already, please post your responses to your blog. Don't worry about the other readings listed, we will get to them soon.
Good luck! And please let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Jessica
