Upcoming Midterm Postponed to 3/21

Alvin Langdon Coburn, The Octopus (View of Madison Square Park in the snow), 1912

Due to the impending snowstorm (and the possibility classes may not run tomorrow) the midterm is rescheduled to Tuesday March 21st, 10 am in Atrium 631. Because we begin with the slide id’s please make sure you arrive on time, otherwise you will not have a chance to go back to part I if you miss the slide IDs. Come early!

Don’t forget to review the images on the short list, as well as the vocabulary words and terms from earlier slide lists. The exam format and image files are also uploaded under documents.

The processes for Part IV—Terminology section of the midterm are:

• daguerreotype
• wet-plate collodion process
• calotype
• gum bichromate process (gum print)
• cyanotype
• photogenic drawing

Below is a table on the differences between Pictorialism and Straight Photography, which I will review in class:

To review the contributions of Alfred Stieglitz and the Photo Secession to the history of photography, you can watch the first 37 minutes of a documentary on Stieglitz, entitled The Eloquent Eye: https://youtu.be/w-wtfjEo8Qc.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. Most importantly, ARRIVE ON TIME next Tuesday, March 21st!
