students successfully solving problems!

one of the classes that i teach at the art institute of charlotte is called photographic design.
essentially, we focus on designing or composing a photograph.
we also problem solve complex ideas in order to make photographs that mean something.

one assignment that i give the students is a conceptual scavenger hunt.
each week i assign a few broad ideas that each student must interpret in photographic images.

week 1:
1. blue
2. home
3. happiness

at the end of the quarter, each student has a portfolio of varied images
each photographed to illustrate a strong understanding of photographic technique & composition and to express a particular meaning.

this is the work of courtney parlier... proud graduate of photographic design!!
nice work, courtney!
