Writing With Technology

Altered Photography

by Vickey Meyer

Final Project

You will be choosing some famous photographs to alter.  You will use writing and art to make a final altered photograph.

Today, you will go to the lab and use the time to research various photographers and find famous photographs that appeal to you.  Now, you cannot just go to google images and find a random picture of a skateboarder.  YOUR PHOTOS HAVE TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY FAMOUS, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!

Here’s a list of photographers to get you started.  Be sure to bring at least two copies of photos you want to work with to class on Wednesday.
