This post is to remind you that our midterm is on Tuesday, October 16th at 10 AM SHARP. Please ARRIVE ON TIME (come early!) because we will begin with the slide identification section and if you miss it, there will be no opportunity to go back to those images.
Please be sure to review the exam format (slide identifications, short answer questions, two comparison essays, and terminology on the processes such as daguerreotype, wet-plate process, calotype, gum bichromate process, cyanotype, photogenic drawing, heliograph, tintype. You should be able to define the basic characteristics of the process, advantages, and disadvantages, and give an example from your notes or textbook for each process you choose to define). Also, take time to review the vocabulary and important names at the bottom of slidelists 1-4 as well as the images.
Lastly, as noted in Thursday’s email to the class, there are two deleted slides from the midterm short list, so your list is even shorter! I will only show images taken from this short list. The following images will NOT be on the exam and I have updated the midterm short list to reflect this:
John Thomson, The Crawlers, 1877-78
Jacob Riis, Banditsʼ Roost, New York, 1888
Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions via email.
