December 7th Classwork

Today you will do your choice of ONE of the two assignments specified below. It will be due at the end of class, and will be graded as a project (60%). If neither is turned in today, your grade will be zero. This is not a project which may be turned in late as we are moving on to another tomorrow. This assignment will serve to prepare you for the next.
1) If you came to class prepared today, with last night's homework done, this will certainly be the easier and more fun assignment to choose! You will make a contact sheet of 12 DIFFERENT food/beverage still life photos. Then you will choose the best, crop and enhance with PhotoShop, and turn in as a 5x7 JPEG. Please do not try to pass off old photos, or photos of other subject matter! Unless your photos can be classified as food/beverage still life, and were taken last night or today, you should take the second choice!
2) You will research and write a two-page HAND-WRITTEN paper on 'Still Life Photography'. Do not type. Do not double space. Use your own words! You may discuss the history of the still life, tips and techniques on creating good still life photography, photographers who specialize in this type of work, etc. Make it interesting to read. You may include your opinions. Cite your sources on seperate page. You may use the Internet or our text books for material. If you'd like to print some samples off the Internet to accompany your two pages, this will be considered toward a better grade.
