Unit 6 Art

Instructions

This assignment includes one photograph or one video. Please respond to one of the options below:

Option 1: Photography

For this option, select a current news article from AP News (you may use their website or an article from the World News section of your newspaper) that contains at least one photograph that is cited with the photographer’s name. Read the article, and then download the photograph or photographs (or take a photo if it is from a newspaper). Then, research background information about the photographer using the CSU Online Library or another reputable source. In your assignment, include a copy of the photo or photos, give a summary of the article and photographer’s background information, and explain how the photograph or photographs helped explain or support the news story. You can also write about what other photographs could have helped explain the story better or are lacking from the story.

Option 2: Video

For this option, select a current news article from AP News (or another reputable news source) that features a video. Research the issue or event featured in the video. In your submission, provide a link to the video, give a summary of the article, and explain how the video helped explain or support the news story. Include what other footage could have helped explain the story better or are lacking from the story. Your submission must have a minimum of one full page of writing. Images and references do not count towards that minimum. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary. Any information you borrow from the article should have an in-text citation to credit your source.
