Make use of at least three scholarly sources to support and develop your ideas. Our race text may serve as one of these three sources.
Your essay should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections.

Essay Prompt:
In this essay, you will choose one photographic image to criticism as a work of art. You may choose an image from either the Straight Photography, The Documentarists or The Modern Eye sections of Chapter 11. Questions for you to consider
in your essay: o Why did you choose this particular image? What appeals to you about it? What intrigues you?
o What ‘school’ or movement does it relate to i.e., straight, documentary or modern and what are some of the characteristics of your chosen image as it relates to the movement or school it’s a part of it?
o Based on everything we’ve learned so far about art (and photography), how would you evaluate this photograph as a work of art?
