Photos vs. Paintings: What makes Fine Art?

Today we'll be jumping right into the thick of it all by going some program basics (who we are, what we do etc...) and will then start talking about what makes photography similar to and different from other art forms you may already be familiar with/practice on a regular basis.

What do you all think about these photos from the Remake Project? We actually did something similar to this last fall when we remade iconic American photographs ourselves. What do you think these images show about the similarities and differences between photos and paintings? What different types of photography styles and functions are you familiar with? How do these photo and painting duos factor in to those familiarities?

See you soon!
