Marwen Fall 2014 FACES OF CHICAGO

Student documents his experience

This street photography class turned the every day Chicagoan into iconic works of art with these large-scale wheat paste prints.

This was a street portraiture class I taught. The students created their street photo booths in downtown Chicago, solicited their subjects, and captured their images using manual digital 35mm cameras. Then printed their images on paper for wheat pasting on a board. My student recorded this video documenting their experience.
