1. What is your passion that you would like to focus on for Project Icarus?
I'm really into piano and photography at the moment. I guess I'm an art and music kind of person. But if I had to choose, I'd choose photography. I've been into it for about a year now, and I still have much to learn.
2. What resources will you use for your research? (be sure that they are resources that are accessible to you).
Photography Teacher (Dad's Friend)
Fellow Photographers
Photography Blogs, Websites
Uncle
Dad
3. What are the questions you want answered about your passion?
I would like to find out about the different camera settings and what it means. I know it, but I'd like a deeper meaning to it and what it does in detail.
What is special about photography as compared to other art forms? Purpose?
4. What is your research plan (what sources will you consult, who might you interview, etc)?
I'd go ask my photographer friends personally. I could also ask my teacher, uncle, or my dad. They're all professionals and know a lot about photography.
Conduct an interview, visit websites to collect information.
5. What might be a possible product or performance for your impact activity?
Portfolio, Book.

Hi Andrew,
Looks like you've got a pretty comprehensive plan for your project Icarus.
The only thing I'd recommend that you do is start with a "baseline." That is, assess, or better yet have your professional photographer friends assess, where you are in skill level.
Then, the learning and the growth that you show during the project will be more meaningful and will truly document "stretch" learning.
I would recommend doing that first thing and having it be part of your research draft that is due this Friday.
Perhaps check out the professional photojournalism websites and find a rubric to use to assess your work. That would validate your plans and your project.
good luck

Mrs. S,
Really good idea, my dad asked me "how would I know I learned or improved?". I could use the "assessment" as my answer. haha. Thanks. I'll get that done. Should it be a hard copy attached with my draft?
I also tried to look for a rubric. Do you just want a rubric to assess my pictures?
Thanks,
Andrew
One more questions:
(can I get a reply on email?)
So, is the draft just a paper on my research answering my questions? Like what I learned, etc etc?

Hi Andrew,
*chuckle* looks like between the blog and email, you've got everything covered!
and yes, it would be great to include a copy of the rubric...I actually think you can do that on the blog...you need to upload the document somewhere and then you link it in the blog and it will be accessible there...
Hmmm...you might also want to check with Mr. Fujimoto...he may have rubrics or judging criteria for the Scholastic Art Awards that his students enter...those would be pretty good standards against which to assess yourself :)
Looking forward to seeing this project develop!
