Now that you have studied the life, work, and beliefs of a master photographer, it's time to put his/her inspiration to use! For your next shooting assignment, you will borrow the shooting approach, subject matter, compositional style, or concept from your master to use in your own work. Look at the slideshow below to see how students have been inspired by master photographers in a variety of ways.
First, dedicate a page or two in your sketchbook to brainstorming ideas and making a proposal. Your sketchbook proposal should include the following:
1) Examples of the masters work, cut-out, collaged or drawn into with your own ideas.
2) Notes to help explain how you will borrow the approach, subject matter, compositional style, or concept from your master.
3) Use the whole page, touch at least two sides.
4) Design your entry like a visual journal page, (see examples in slideshow)
Sketchbook brainstorming is worth a 30 point homework grade!
