Transformation Project

You don't look like yourself today!  Just kidding, it's because of your transformation project!

Please turn in all 5 of your transformation photos.  Title each photo, and tell me which 2 photos have been dramatically changed in PhotoShop.

(Remember to flatten your design and SAVE AS a jpg in order to upload to blogger)

Then answer the following questions:

1. Who did you transform yourself into? Why?
2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
3. What was simple about this project? Why?
4. If you could choose one more photo to add to this transformation project, what would you add?

Then, choose one photo that you are most proud of and would like to share with the class tomorrow. Prepare a statement about the photo - what it is? what you did to create the photo? anything special about the photo?

Transformation Brainstorm

Yesterday we learned about the idea of Transformation in contemporary photography.  We looked at the work of Cindy Sherman and Nikki S. Lee and saw how they transformed their identity in their photography.

For this next project, you will transform yourself into someone else.

Let's Brainstorm!

1. If you could transform yourself into another person, who would it be?  Would it be a person of a certain occupation?  A celebrity?  A family member? A fictional character?
2. Why do you want to transform yourself into this person?
3. What locations will you photograph yourself in?
4. What props will you need in order to complete this transformation?
5. What research will you need to do in order to photograph yourself as this person?
6. Upload a photo of inspiration for your new character. Explain how you will create the mood and expression of that person in your photo series.
