Reading for Thusday, September 23: Uta Barth

Uta Barth's work is more about the act of seeing, than of the subject itself. The example images from the article show pairs of photographs which photograph the same subject in different ways. Take one pair, and discuss how Barth uses similarities and differences of the repetition to emphasize the act of seeing (visual perception).

Reading for Thursday, September 16

Introduction to Color Management by Martin Evening: read pages 2-11 of the PDF (which is also pages 355 -364 of the book). Available HERE or on blackboard.

Read this article on fine art printing papers.

Optional: bring one RAW file to class that you would like to print-- you will have the opportunity to print it on 4 different printing papers. The ideal file would have a range of colors and tones, to show off the different qualities of the papers and profiles.

No reading response necessary... but reading these articles will make you a more effective participant in tomorrow's in-class discussion and activities.
