Art Production:
1. Students will pick one or several insecurities or social impositions to display on themselves/ their partner.
2. Students can chose whether they would like to shoot their photo against a solid background or against a background that supports the idea behind their picture. If they choose the second option, their background should not be so distracting that it takes away from the photo itself.
3. After getting the teacher's approval on selected background and topic, students may begin shooting. Each student should shoot and be a model.
4. After photo's have been shot and the favorite picture selected, students will edit their own photo in a way that best supports the picture. (Ex, black and white, color, etc)
5. When finished, students will submit the work digitally to the teacher.
Assessment: Teacher will put all the students images into a slide show. A rubric will be used to grade if their photo properly displayed their original idea; if the picture was well shot; if the editing to the picture correlated well with the photo and was done to pristine quality; if both partners did an equal share of the work; and if the project was completed on time.
