What is 'Free Response':
Each day we will start the class responding to a photograph. The photograph may relate to the lesson of the day or maybe a current or historical event. The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about the power of a photograph and what makes a photograph 'good' or interesting. Spending time deeply examining one image allows you to dissect its content (subject matter, technique, composition).You may respond to the image however you feel most comfortable- drawing, writing or a combination. You should work to fill the page in the ten minute time period, and if you 'finish' early- keep going and ask yourself what more do I see.
