- Course Catalog Description:
- Presents conceptual, technical, historical aspects of photography within fine arts context. Emphasis on creative process through hands-on experience in use of camera, digital, black/white, darkroom processes.
- Class Description:
- This introductory photography class will be delivered synchronously (the class meeting at a specific time) as well as asynchronously (meaning students will also be able to work on the class during their own time keeping in mind deadlines for assignments). Due to the online format we will focus on digital photography with some time to work with non-digital processes with provided Cyanotype kits. We will emphasize a balance of technical skills, exploration of personal vision, and development of critical thinking and vocabulary relating to photography. Your own image making will be considered in the context of photography as a fine art. Class activities will consist of recorded lectures & demonstrations, as well as written discussions and critiques. The core of the class work is a series of assignments, as well as exercises. Students' work will be constructively discussed by classmates and instructor in discussion forums. Students will learn the fundamentals of digital camera operation, composition, moment, light and subject. Students will be introduced to digital hardware and software tools for image adjustment/manipulation (primarily Adobe Lightroom Classic). Work will also be done with cell phone cameras and found images. You are required to provide your own advanced digital camera: one with an interchangeable lens, capable of producing RAW files, and with manual control of shutter speed and f-stop.
