Part 1: Mahara Page (200 POINTS TOTAL - see below for what is included)
Create [AND SHARE!] a new page on Mahara dedicated to your Master Photographer. Your page should be informative,
eye-catching, and legible. Keep it neatly designed and organized. If you wish to have more control over the design of this
page, you can do all of it in your sketchbook then SCAN IT AND PUT IT ON MAHARA, or work on it as a page layout in
Photoshop and ADD IT AS AN IMAGE TO MAHARA. (200 POINTS TOTAL - see below for what is included)
1. MASTER IMAGES: Include enough (minimum 10) images - IN AN IMAGE GALLERY - to present a range of your
photographerʼs work, showcasing the themes and subject matter common to their work. You must include the TITLE

and dates. [25 POINTS]
2. TIMELINE: A list of important dates pertaining to: their birth, education, where they lived, relationships or art
movements, exhibitions, other world events that are important to their time, and death (if applicable). [25 POINTS]
3. THEMES: A paragraph stating what themes this artist explores in their work (time, the human form, street life, family,
nature, etc.). Include historical information about your photographer, how they got into photography, what they are

photograph to emulate their style. [25 POINTS]
4. BIBLIOGRAPHY: All sources need to be cited with the book / article / publication author, title, and date, or the website
address. You should include information from multiple RELIABLE sources. [25 POINTS]
5. FELDMANʼS METHOD: On your Mahara page, analyze ONE work by your photographer. The work you choose
should be representative of what is interesting to you about your masterʼs work, and exemplify the themes this artist
explores. Use Feldmanʼs Method to Describe, Analyze, Interpret, and Judge the work. Add a copy of the image
[include the title and date in the “Block Title”] next to your analysis. [75 POINTS TOTAL - SEE BELOW]
For each part, give specific examples from the photograph. Use complete sentences, be as detailed
as possible, and explain why you came to the conclusion you did.

art used? [Line, Shape, Value, Form, Color, Texture, Space.]
B. ANALYZE [15 POINTS]: What are the 3 most important principles of composition used? How are the
elements of art used in these principles? [Line, Light, Rule of Thirds, Frame Within a Frame, Point of
View, Using the Edges of the Frame, Fill the Frame/Cropping, Pattern/Texture.]
C. INTERPRET [15 POINTS]: What is the photographer communicating? What theme(s) or meaning(s) are
they exploring? Why do you think this photograph was taken? How does the technique or composition of
the photograph support their ideas? (Remember what you have researched.)
D. JUDGE [30 POINTS] - DUE LATER, AFTER SHOOTING: You will be include your photos on this Mahara
page. For this step, identify which one you are choosing to compare to your chosen masterʼs photo. You
will compare their elements, POC, and meanings. You will be doing this section (JUDGE) after you have
shot your roll.
6. YOUR PHOTOS: After you have shot your roll, you will add your three best prints (scanned from your negatives)
which embody your photographerʼs style. [25 POINTS]
Objective:
Research and analyze the work of a master photographer in order to understand the techniques,
concepts, and themes they explore. You will demonstrate your understanding by analyzing a
photograph by your artist, identifying techniques and concepts within that work and shooting a roll
of film following the same objectives, creating a Mahara page to be shared in class based on the
life and work of your Master Photographer.
Part 2: Shooting Assignment (150 POINTS TOTAL - see below)
7. RUBRIC: Design an assignment for yourself - shoot a roll of film in the style of your master photographer. Consider
the techniques they use(d) and the themes, concepts, or ideas they explore(d) in their work. Pay close attention to
their subjects, lighting situation, and mood. Create a rubric which explains how your work will be connected to or
inspired by your master photographer. You must keep this and turn it in at the end, with your prints, and the reflection
questions answered. [25 POINTS]
8. CONTACT SHEET ANALYSIS: Do a SIMPLE analysis in which you attach all images in your sketchbook, but you
