first semester sophomore year i was privileged enough to take Narrative Strategies with Lynn Silverman. let alone the fact that she is an adorable human being, i really enjoyed the class and made some work that i am pretty proud of, even though it doesn’t represent the crux of what i’m thinking about these days.
Lynn would give us an assignment and two weeks in which to complete it. we had one week to work on the project on our own before she presented slides of images that related to the assignment. then we would have another week to work before critique. i thought this was a great way to have us think for ourselves as well as showing us inspiring images from other photographers.
so here are some images from the class!
single image narrative
multiple image narrative*printed twice, viewed both backwards and forwards*
finalimages presented in a handmade book
agh! sorry for the image overload! i’m really going to try to update this regularly so it won’t just be a million pictures at once.
