ART 256: Introduction To Photography

3 credits

Over the course of the semester, students will shoot a major photographic project and layout and publish a photobook. As a class, we will discuss image editing, camera technique, and the history of the photobook and consider a variety of storytelling platforms, from the static page to the dynamic website. (Distribution Reqs:Arts)

Learning Goals

Students will:• build their own operational pinhole cameras and understand how to make a successful picture via time and aperture.• produce a “darkroom” portfolio that demonstrates their understanding of traditional film-based photographic exposing, processing and printing techniques.• produce a “digital” portfolio that demonstrates their understanding of the DSLR camera (including RAW file formats, ISO control, and White balance), Adobe Lightroom, and color management.• produce a “project portfolio” that demonstrates their ability to build a photographic series that sustains a consistent aesthetic and addresses a single topic.• create Photography blogs that reveal their comprehension of basic studio lighting techniques, aesthetic photographic principles, and contemporary photographic theory.
