Seeing is believing...


To do:
  1. Visit the FRAC exhibition with a friend (take your time looking at each photo, keep an open mind...).
  2. Choose a photo one of you likes and the other dislikes.
  3. Write down your description of the photograph.
  4. Write down what you think the "meaning" of the photo is.
  5. Carry out research on the photo and on the photographer and his work in general (use the computer terminals on the first floor of the FRAC).
  6. Summarise what the photographer and critics have said about the photograph you have chosen.
  7. What does the photo say about the way the photographer sees today's world do you think (write down your answer)?
  8. How much do you share his way of seeing things (write down your answer)?
  9. Record your conversation about the photo on your cell phone (make sure the recording is very clear), each saying clearly why he likes or dislikes the picture.
  10. We will listen to your recorded conversation in class (whilst looking at a copy of the photo).
