Clockwise from top to center: Julie Ogden, Liz Rench, Wenjei Cheng, Lauren G, Sarah ReidThis assignment is inspired by the artist Miranda July, who over a decade has strived to create works of art that connect people in unexpected and beautiful ways. Her website project, Learning to Love You More is full of assignments she gives to the public or anyone who visits the site to perform and post in order to provide a way for people to meet, see, and hear each other's stories.
As we begin the year, we too will spend time getting to know one another, and each other's interests and styles. Follow these directions:
1) Visit July's website here: Learning to Love You More
2) Choose five of the following assignments to complete, by carefully following July's instructions:
9. Draw a constellation from someone's freckles.
no. 11. Photograph a scar and write about it.
no. 23. Recreate this snapshot.
no. 27. Take a picture of the sun.
no. 30. Take a picture of strangers holding hands.
no. 50. Take a flash photo under your bed.
no. 55. Photograph a significant outfit.
no. 63. Make an encouraging banner.
3)Use a camera that instantly takes pictures for this assignment, no film processing necessary! Digital cameras and polaroids work great! Remember to use proper lighting and shutter speeds where necessary.
4)Upload your pictures onto your Flickr portfolio,label and add descriptions to each of your images.
5)Batch / group them together as the "Learning To Love You More Collection" We will be commenting on each others images on-line!
