Freedom of Religion Project--Due Wednesday

On Wednesday morning at 8am, the Freedom of Religion Photography project is due. You should have atleast five finished and edited photos posted to your blog and be ready to discuss them. This is a project (50%) grade and no late work will be accepted as the deadline was extended.

Content and variety are your artistic freedom. You must be able to justify your actions and photographs by giving the class an explanation of the religion.

As always, if you need help with the concepts of your project, it is your job to visit with me. Also, technical help with the editing and blog posts needs to be obtained before or after school, not the day the assignment is due.
