ONE-DAY WORKSHOP
ANALYZING YOUR WORK IN PROGRESS With LINDA CONNOR
Linda Connor is a well-respected photographer and teacher. Her exhibition, Odyssey: The Photographs of Linda Connor, will be on view at the Palm Springs Art Museum during the week of Connect 2010. She will be conducting a one-day workshop consisting of supportive and honest discussions and feedback of the students’ photographic projects or creative work.
Discussion of students’ work will include the following
Aspects of its Content
Stage of Development
Sequencing
Editing
Presentation
Inspiration
Audience
This will take place in a casual but focused group situation allowing for participants to learn from the work and comments of their fellow students. Students should bring small-scale work prints, un-mounted and unframed, that we can tape or push-pin. 4×5 or 8×10 images would be ideal. If we need to see an image at a larger scale to consider what you are working to achieve, you can bring a sample print. Bring no less than 20 images; error on the side of too many. Also, have in mind photographic artists or bodies of work that you think are pertinent or have been inspirational to your own work. For example, if the book The Lines of my Hand by Robert Frank was a book of pertinence to your work, it would be good to bring a copy to share with the class or to make reference to. Any format and approach to photography is welcome. Come with an open mind and a lot of work.
