OBJECTIVE:
The subject matter of the Collections Assignment should have related to things that you are interested in personally - whether it be a film type, an abstract expression of an idea, or something more concrete such as a specific subject matter. As an artist, you were asked to take risks and expand or grow within your skills as a photographer. During the duration of the term (and for some of you who started shooting during the summer) this has been an artistic journey in which you will now be showing off all your accomplishments in an exhibit dedicated to you. From all your previous collection printing and shooting requirements during the term, choose 20 of your best 25 images that you will show to represent your collection. Those images will then be hung in the OPRF gallery for exhibit and critiqued as the final exam for the term.
