This
DIS course is designed to allow students to self-direct a photographic project
either outside the scope of the courses normally offered or to substitute a
course from the photography sequence. The student proposes a photographic
project to be completed in the form of a portfolio. This proposal must be
submitted to the instructor by July 1. The proposal is mandatory and requires
instructor approval. Course evaluation will be based on the successful
completion of proposed project.
Please note: The proposal must be
typed-written and contain three visual references. Submit proposal via email.
Include the course(s) being substituted by this DIS course. Include “DIS Proposal by Your Name Here” in the subject area.
PORTFOLIO (Summer Session B)
The
portfolio will consist of a minimum of 3 images per credit hour. Images must be
original and produced solely for this course. Students are required to provide
instructor with digital files of the final portfolio, formally labeled, for instructor’s
archive.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students
are required to meet with me or correspond by email at least 2 times prior to
final submission of project.
PROPOSAL
The
proposal should provide a succinct explanation of your project (the who, what,
where, when, and why). The proposal will also serve as your artist’s statement.
I am interested in understanding your motivation toward the project/subject
along with strategies for successfully fulfilling stated objectives.
