[3] Images of the Modular Form in [3] Different Contexts 
Due: Thursday, April 12th 
Format: 3 printed color images, 8'' x 10'', (put your name on the back of each photo)

The final format of the Modular Form project is two-dimensional. The setting, surrounding, or context you choose should help clarify and develop the content of the work for the audience, reinforcing what your object of readymades communicates. You may use a field made of objects [Field = a large unbroken expanse (as of ice or fabric)], a real-life setting or scenario, material field, or a small-scale model to create a context or environment. Just be sure that the object you made remains a main character or focus of the photographic composition - We need to see enough of the object so that there is no question about what said object is. Here is the test: If someone who didn't see the object out of context cannot tell what the object is from the picture, you have not photographed it in such a way that the Modular Object is recognizable. Use the points of control learned in Rapid Idea Sketching to guide the final output of this work. You are in control of what the audience views. Use different perspectives and contexts for this final phase if it helps deliver your perspective.

In an attempt to clearly communicate your message, you will make and print three photographs. After you have printed these three photos, pick the image you feel most strongly delivers your content. When you display the work in class, place the strongest photo apart from the three other images. Write your name on the back of each photograph.

Printed photos should be 8” x 10" format (unless you choose a different aspect ratio of similar overall size). If you decide to present the work using a mat, be sure the mat is cut straight and clean. Your images should be printed on photo paper or high-quality inkjet paper, not copier paper. Capture your images at a high enough resolution so that your prints do not appear pixelated. Be sure to print your work in plenty of time. Oftentimes printers at school are broken or not working when a large number of students have work due!

Modular Form in Context: Titles & Critique Questions
Due: Thursday, April 12th 
Format: See Below

Part 1
One for each image. Print and cut out so that you can place them by the photo they reference. At least 3"x5" in size [size of an index card]. 

Titles offer an additional way to add meaning to your work. A title is an opportunity to create an additional layer of meaning, content, or context. Titles should compliment or be in contrast to the work you develop. It should not be obvious, redundant, or simply restate what the audience can easily figure out by viewing the work. Each title should also include your name like the example below:

Be sure to print and cut out a title card for each work. Use the label function of word. Select 5315 Note card and the program will create space to make at least [3] cards. Font should be Arial and 16pt. Include the following on each card:
Your Name
Title
Modular Form in Context



Part 2
Format: as a typed printed document with the proper heading as outlined in the syllabus. At least [2] questions.


You worked on this in the worksheet phase of this project's development. Prepare at least two questions to ask the critique group. Questions should be direct and specific, addressing areas of the work in such a way that will elicit responses that can help you figure out how to expand ideas or resolve issues in your work. The questions you develop should require responses beyond 'yes' and 'no'. Please do not prepare questions that can be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. Likewise, your questions should not be a ploy to convince your audience to agree with your point of view or opinion.
