Day Two, Saturday November 2, 2019 Alexander Hall Rm 108, 9:00AM-Noon
The
second day will be spent helping students edit and sequence their book
idea. Student are expected to bring inexpensive 4” x 6” prints that can
be laid out on tables and pinned up to facilitate this process.
(Bringing a few high quality prints so the class can judge actual image
quality is acceptable, but having lots of small, cheap prints is
necessary.) If time permits, Professor McMullin will be bringing 4 x 6
prints of his latest project, Dark Roots- On the Back Roads of Appalachia, for the class to assist in his editing and sequencing.
Professor McMullin will be available from 2PM-5PM on both Friday and Saturday to review portfolios, by appointment.
