Self Critique - Reflections Assignment

We will write a critique about the reflections assignment today. Use the Critique Guide, but I would like you to focaus on Part 3 - The Emotional side of the critique.

I also would ike you to give a SERIOUS self-evaluation on the quality of your photography and your work ethic.

Consider the following questions:

Effort:

Do you... 

• Make good use of class time? 

• Work on photography outside of class? 

• Try your best to meet or go beyond each assignment? 

• Try to be as creative and original in your work (take risks)? 

• Incorporate teacher advice and feedback into your work? 

• Meet challenges by correcting mistakes (reshoot or reprint)? 

• Strive to improve your technique (learn things you are missing?) 

• Meet the requirements of each assignment? 

• Make deadlines?

Quality of Work

Are you present and paying attention? Do you speak often and offer creative insights and constructive criticism? 

Are you improving? How?

Is your work... 

• Interesting? (To others? To you?) 

• Creative? 

• Original? (Different than others in some way?) 

Quality of Ideas

Do your photographs show... 

• Design skill? (Interesting perspectives and angles, creative use of light, definite focus choices, compelling framing and composition?) 

• Self expression? A personal vision or point of view?

• A clear story or theme? If multiple images, are they cohesive or fluid? (Do they connect to each other and your main idea?)
