Write a four-paragraph critical response in your sketchbook by applying the Feldman’s Method to one of these
images. Remember the four steps of the Feldman’s Method:
1) Describe the photograph by identifying the visual facts and all the elements of art you see, (line, shape,
value, texture, form, color, and/or space).
2) Analyze the design of the photograph by identifying the principles of composition most relevant to the work,
(light&shadow, frame-in-a-frame, edges of frame, point-of-view, etc.)
3) Interpret the photograph by trying to identify the meaning behind it. Identify how the photographer has used
composition to clarify/emphasize this meaning.
4) Judge the photo by deciding whether you feel it is “masterful” or not. Remember to compare the master
photo with a different work, and use info from your analyze and interpret steps in order to defend your
judgment.
Write neatly and legibly! If I can’t read your handwriting, type it and glue your response into your sketchbook!
