Given that the first component of this course will explore issues related to travel photography, each student will create a blog throughout the course where images taken throughout the class can be posted online- acting as both an on-line art project and an opportunity to share your experiences with friends and family back in the US.
Blogs should be based on typical tourist photographs. Try to either provide a theme for your blog that focuses on one particular aspect of Tuscany, take photographs that represent your own personal point of view, or create posts which combine text and image to reveal your own unique observations on aspects of the city that you find compelling, contradictory, interesting or ironic.
Each student will be responsible for at least 4 posts per week (beginning June 1) for a total of 16 posts completed by the end of the course. Blogs will be reviewed on June 27. Posts should be paced at 4 per week- do not try to make all 16 posts during the last week of class!
Blog servers that can be used include blogspot, typepad, or wordpress. (Wordpress and blogspot are free, typepad is not free). You can also post blogs to your own personal website if you have one.
Provide the url address of your blog and put up your first four posts by Friday June 5 so that a link to your blog can be made from the main class website.
Note: Because of the issue regarding internet access in the class, I will bring a thumb drive to class onto which you can download your files. This drive will be kept on my doorknob so that you can take your files from the lab computers after you have worked with them in Photoshop and post them at the residence where you can access the web.
