March 18, 2915 – What’s Happening!

Take a moment to look at these pictures made by American photographer Elliot Erwitt:

1. What do you see in his pictures that make his work unique and sought after? Do you recognize some of the camera techniques you have learned in previous Photo Challenges? What do the photographs say about the artist? What is your favorite photograph? Why?

2. Share your thoughts with an elbow partner.

1. Photographer Profile Presentation. Create the following slides today in PowerPoint, Google, or Prezi presentation applications:

Note: Each slide must have an image

Today: 

  • I can describe and articulate aesthetic pictorial qualities I see in the work of the photographer I have selected for my photographer profile.
  • I can explain why some images can be described as well-known and popular.
  • I can research and give an account to why their work is significant.

Slide 10: Show 3 of your photographers most well-known images and explain why they are so popular.

Slide 11: How would you describe their work in general? What do you think they were trying to communicate through their work?

Slide 12: What significant contributions did they make?

Slide 13: Include a quote from this photographer and a photo of them.

    most of his work looks to be drawing out some form of comedy. the first picture with a reflection of a happy couple and the photo of a tiny dog next to it’s master and larger cousin.

    This photographer captures beautiful moments but also puts some humor in them. and i recognize rule of thirds and POV. I think the photos say the artist likes to take his pictures in a different way. He adds tecniques in his pictures that makes him a good artist. My favorite is the two people in the mirror because you can really feel the emotion.
