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).

Class Description:

We will use digital technologies to understand the nature, forms, and functions of photographs as visual and cultural artifacts within the context of art. We will examine historic and contemporary practices, ethics, and artistic responsibility through conceptual and thematic explorations of photography as a powerful tool for creative and social expression. Photography is an expansive medium, and we will develop critical strategies and visual literacy skills to become confident and innovative artists and viewers. Class activities will include lectures, demonstrations, group exercises, lab time, and critiques. Assignments are designed to build technical mastery, critical skills, and conceptual rigor. Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, this course will not include a film/darkroom unit for the Spring 2021 semester.
