Overview

In lesson fourteen, students engage in an open discussion surrounding the works of Gillian Laub and LaToya Ruby Frazier, two artists who make different artistic decisions when photographing their families.

Students are asked to photograph their neighborhoods, and will begin to actively conceptualize and work toward their chosen themes.
