Research and write a 4+ page paper (with bibliography) on a theory of creativity and how that theory relates to your work. In addition, be prepared to give a 3-5 minute presentation on your paper.
Take one perspective on creativity. Here are those to be discussed in class:
Or you can use another author’s aspect of creativity that you found that interests you and is relevant to your work as a photographer (Fergus recommends Walking On Water by Madeleine L'Engle).
In the paper relate this aspect of creativity to YOUR career as a photographer. How will YOU use this creativity aspect in your photographic work?
You need not use in-text citations, but you must include bibliography of where you found information from at least four reference sources. You cannot use Wikkipedia! You may site one of Olson's lectures if your have kept track of the dates that particular subject was presented. Use either APA or MLA format for the bibliography.
Prepare a 3–5 minute presentation that uses visual aids. I'd recommend Powerpoint or a PDF (but this is not required). You will give your presentation to the class week 9. Feel free to use props and/or other visuals; but keep to the time limit please! You will receive a grade for the presentation (in addition to one for the paper).
The term paper & presentation will count for roughly 1/3 of your overall grade in the class.
