messages and meanings? What will inspire them within this project to create work? What is the deeper meaning behind their selected images?

Unit Summary:
In this unit, the students will grapple with the idea of Love and Hate and how it pertains to them. They will then produce images that closely identify with them,
they will edit the photographs as well. At the end of the unit lesson, as a class, we will critique everyone’s work individually. We will discuss their themes, what
the photographs mean to them, the messages they are trying to convey, and how to improve their work conceptually and technically.
