In preparation for our own self portraits, we explored, analyzed and discussed the content of two sets of photographic portraits. Drawing on a lesson plan developed by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), students in the class responded to the questions about Dorthea Lange's Migrant Mother. We discussed the emotions the portrait evoked and collectively answered the question "What the (Migrant Mother) would say if she could speak." We then broke into small groups and analyzed the Social Documentary photographer Milton Rogovin's portraits of a working mother. After deconstructing these portraits, we ended the class by beginning to think about how to analyze colleges by filling out What Do you Want in a College, an information sheet with questions about our own personal preferences for campus size, location and academic offerings.
