Super-Proud

Hey everyone, I just wanted to post this really quick:

I'm super-proud of each of you who decided to submit work for the Senior Show this year. Each of you have made fantastic works, and as I went through each of your submissions, I realized how truly unique, and authentic all of your work really is this year. You make me proud!

Best of luck!

Below is a slideshow I made of each of the final entries, enjoy!

The Annual Howard County Portfolio Development and Senior/Junior show is the biggest county show of the year, showing artwork from students all over the county. This year's exhibition will be juried, meaning that a panel of artists will choose the works to be included. To be included in the show is a huge honor for you as an artist, and for the school!

All Photo 2 students who apply for the senior/junior show will receive 3 extra points on their overall 3rd Quarter grade.

Artist Statement

This week while you're shooting your ego portraits, you will write a first draft of an artist statement about your photography and your interests as a photographer. The artist statement is an important document for any artist. In order to help you put together your statement, you will follow the assignment sheet below. But first, I would like you to check out the statements written by our Photo 3 students, (Carolyn, Kyria, Krisy, Passion, and Amanda) that focus on their concentrations.

PART 1: For a 20 point homework grade, I would like you to choose a Photo 3 student and analyze their concentration works, and read their artist statements here. Then, in the corresponding discussion page, write a response to their work that addresses each of the questions on the Flickr discussion page.
