Exercise #1: Building Visual Literacy

Choose a photographer's name at random from the container.  Begin to research your photographer online, looking for the most in-depth and impressive sources describing his or her work (more than one source, no Wikipedia).

Post 3 of the photographer's images that you find most moving, compelling, or inspiring.

Once you find a picture, right-click on it and choose "save as." Save your images to the desktop or the Student Work folder. DO NOT DRAG TO DESKTOP.  To upload the images on your blog post, click the picture icon in the post dialog.

Then, answer the following questions about their work:

How did this photographer get started in his or her career?
What is this photographer most well known for?
Describe the photographer's primary subject matter.
What about his or her work do you find interesting?
How would you describe his or her visual style? 

List your sources at the end of your post.
