Portraits of Time

Objective:

To practice the skills you have learned, you will take a series of self-portraits and still life images that capture a moment in time.  To help you understand the concept of capturing a moment, you will analyze the work of Elliott Erwitt.  His work will inspire you and to help you create thought-provoking and creative original artworks.

Procedure:

1.    Listen to the poem The Best Time of The Day by Raymond Carver.

2.    Review the work of Elliott Erwitt as a class and discuss what moments in time each photograph is trying to portray.

3.    Brainstorm a MINIMUM of 5 ideas in your sketchbook for your own best time of day or time of life. Answer the following: What would it be?  What would you look like?  Where would you be?  What would you be doing?  How would you be feeling?  Who would you be with?

4.    Photograph yourself in one of your best times of day – choose one idea from your sketchbook brainstorming.  You must take a minimum of 40 pictures that reflects this moment.  Your photos should focus on your hands, your feet, your face, your full body and still life images that reflect this specific moment.  All images should be from the same moment.  You will submit these 40 pictures as a contact sheet.

5.    Choose and edit (if necessary) your best images that express this best time of day.

6.    Create final piece using Photoshop to compile 3-5 images together and present them in a manner that emphasizes your Portrait of Time.  

Due Dates & Evaluation: You will receive 3 grades on this project. See rubrics.

Peer/teacher consultations: Nov. 24
Contact sheets: Due Dec. 1

The Best Time Of The Day

Cool summer nights.
Windows open.
Lamps burning.
Fruit in the bowl.
And your head on my shoulder.
These the happiest moments in the day.

Next to the early morning hours,
of course. And the time
just before lunch.
And the afternoon, and
early evening hours.
But I do love

these summer nights.
Even more, I think,
than those other times.
The work finished for the day.
And no one who can reach us now.
Or ever.
