DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to introduce photography as a fine art and a means of personal expression. The emphasis in this course is on the elements of composition and editing for a final quality black and white image. Areas of concentration include: creativity, composition, use of basic camera functions, use of computer/digital imaging/editing and analyzing/critiquing the work of others. Any level of previous knowledge of photography is welcome - all levels can benefit from the continued development of skills. Assignments are to be completed with a digital camera. (Min 4 megapixels - does not have to be SLR.)
A specific analysis of photographic images using French and American masters of photography will be employed to develop students' aesthetic judgment concerning their own image production. Digital production around various themes required. Students are expected to bring a digital camera and a laptop with some means of editing (although computers and basic PhotoShop Elements software is available in the computer lab.)
Course includes a Saturday excursion to the International Photo Exposition in Arles.
Extra fee required.
