Abstract
Whether a creative work begins intuitively or conceptually, research becomes integral to understanding and situating the work within a larger discourse or culture. In this iterative and often cyclical process, creative questioning leads to (>) research and discovery > sophisticated refinement of the work > more questioning and making, and so on. This assignment presents a guided research exercise in literature review, critical analysis, and discussion of the themes arising in the student’s photographic work to ultimately support its ongoing refinement and dialogue.
At completion of assignment, student will:
1. Be able to identify and research the themes and ideas underlying their photographic work.
2. Be able to present their findings as context for their photographic work and engage discussion on the work’s relationship to the ideas presented.
3. Be able to identify and apply relevant feedback to the next iteration of their photographic work.
