KCAD DE Complete
One of the biggest events of this week were my students finishing their KCAD Dual Enrollment class and presenting their final projects. After fifteen weeks of learning various manual settings, editing techniques, and how artists use both of those things to make compelling images, students worked on their final presentations on a topic of their choice.
I was impressed as students explained their ideas and presented their final series. The difference between this assignment and the ones previously done is that the work must tell a story both individually and as a group of images.
Here are the results:

Here are the results:
Elise: Shine
Elise's final series focused on the use of glitter to gloss over images we may not notice or want to see. She used glitter to capture ideas of greed, jealousy, hope, and wonder within her final eight images. She is planning to submit her series to Scholastic in the Fall.
Kathy: Made in the U.S.A
Kathy's final series explored her heritage by using her friends and family in the Vietnamese market where they do their grocery shopping. She explores how she views herself through the items she captures and the development of her personalized definition of an American identity.
Krista: Life Cycles
Krista's work goes through the exploration of self though the use of water, paint, skulls, and how the model for her series interacts with those objects. She is planning to submit her series to Scholastic in the Fall.
Anna: Childhood Dangers
In Anna's series, she resisted her grandparent's basement where she was greeted by old toys and memories from the past. She decided to pair the well-worn objects with dangerous items and severe lighting to get an effect that shows a darker side to your once loved friends.
Emma: Double Vision
Emma finished out the term with this series using her sister as a model and various special effects through light, prisms, and overlays to create a surreal feel with the portraits. Emma used the visual language of her drawings to inform the ideas behind these works as well as the color story woven throughout.
Kennedy: Dark Shadows
In her final series of images, Kennedy was interested in capturing fear and anxiety through images of what lurks just beyond the frame or in the shadows. Her images use some objects we encounter routinely, but dramatize them through placement, light, and shadow.
