The final project will be a series of digitally composed images (four images, minimum) with a consistent theme. The project should reflect a serious development of a concept and the form of presentation should correspond to the content you are exploring. The images should be consistent in quality and communicate your ideas clearly.
Choose a topic you know well and care about. It is important that you develop a point of view or an attitude from which you approach the content. You can choose to rework and expand a previous exercise from this course. Think very carefully about what kind of overall feeling you want to communicate in your images. What do you hope the audience will see and learn from viewing your project? You will definitely want to think about sequencing and perhaps incorporating a narrative structure as you start sketching and planning your images.
A project proposal is due on Thursday, April 30, 1998. You will need to submit a final, typed, and revised artist's statement when you turn in the final work. This statement will discuss the following:
A) FORM/CONTENT: Outline your idea. Briefly explain your convictions or why you want to pursue this concept. How will the concept be presented? (Digital book? Web project? Color prints? On-screen images?)
B) PROCESS: How will you develop the idea? Where will you find source material for the images? What digital tools will aid your efforts?
C) COMMUNICATION: What feeling, idea, attitude, or conviction do you intend to communicate to the viewer?
