Thanks for submitting another assignment!
The assignment reads as follows:
Lesson 2: Assignment Assignment Title: Inspiration
What you need to do for this assignment is write a 500 word paper (approximately 1 page) on a photographer or artist that has had an impact on yourself as an artist. In this article you need to identify 2 important things.
1. A particular piece of work they created which was of particular importance to you. 2. What theme within their work is of greatest importance to you (i.e. war, love, family, color etc)
We will review this assignment based on originality and perspective. There are no right or wrong answers. The aim of this assignment is to get you thinking about your own area of interest within the realm of photography.
This little essay is thoughtful and compelling. Given that you don’t have a particular photographer that inspires you I though instead of ‘critiquing’ your assignment that I would compile a list of photographers for you to research as that would be more useful for you now.
