Welcome Back

1. To begin today's class, you are going to watch 31 minutes about Platon a well known portrait photographer. Please listen and watch carefully, since in the next couple of weeks we will be watching some short documentaries on photographers and you will have a one page assignment that will focus on what you have learned about a number of photographers and photography as an art form.

ONLY WATCH the first 31 minutes



 

When finished, ask the students to answer and hand in the following questions:

  • What makes Platon so good at his craft? 
  • How is Platon able to create such stunning portraits?
  • How has Platon extended his work on a global level?

2. Students can work on any assignments which need finishing up. This might also include, editing, organizing and uploading to Flickr. Give students who are taking photos only 40 minutes out of class. If taking cameras outside and it is raining the cameras need to have a plastic bag over them. Students can shoot in the art room across the hall.
