So we have made it to the end of the semester! This group finished out the semester with a critique for Color Theory Class. The last assignment was their ”Final Four”, where students pick themes and topics based on found locations and situations. Nothing staged and no people or animals. This always makes for great photos because the students are issued a challenge to find something interesting and unique out of something that may be common or a popular location. Our instructors led the critique and we had a guest appearance from one of our former instructors Michael Schwarz. There were some great series and images this semester. We can’t wait to see what kind of work they put out as they grow into their second year.
