We’ll be taking a break from posting for the next couple of months. In the mean time, please feel free to browse through the students’ work and the rest of the site. We will be back posting toward the end of August as the new school year begins. We wish you all a happy and wonderful summer.

The following images are from an assignment given in the Drawing Option class. Loosely based on the format of an exquisite corpse, students were asked to do a self-portrait in three segments. The top segment consisted of a direct form observation portrait of themselves. In the middle segment, they were to consider themselves as something else – either as an animate or inanimate object. And finally they were asked to place themselves in a specific location, environment, or situation.

Here are a few examples of pinhole cameras and the resulting images that were made by photo students in their 2D/3D design class. Most use paper negatives, but the chair actually has a built-in film mechanism.
