HW for Wednesday and Friday

FOR WEDNESDAY: Read carefully John Szarkowski's Introduction to Eggleston's Guide.

1. Each group will be assigned to take notes on one or several of the following:

What does S. write about the art of Photography in general? (list 5-7 representative sentences and page #)
What does S write about Eggleston's Photos in specific? (list 5-7 representative sentences and page #)
What does S. write about the use of color in Photography? (list 3-5 representative sentences and page#)
What does S write about Art in general? (list 3-5 representative sentences and page#)
What comparisons does S. make between Writing and Photography? (list 3-5 representative sentences and page#)

2. Everyone also keep a list of each other photographer S. lists.

3. Pick 1 term you do not know from each page and define it. Some examples to get you started: Romantic, vernacular, Faustian Ambition, sotto voce, eidetic memory, etc

This homework will be checked in class Wednesday (remember: we'll be meeting in the computer lab in the Bates Basement)

FOR FRIDAY:
Mandatory Friday Paper DUE: 500-600 words, with 1-4 original photos somehow inspired by Eggleston. Use the questions we consider in class Monday to get you started in offering a unique reading on Eggleston's work. Make sure to include at least 2 short, direct quotations (properly cited) from Szarkowski's essay.
