This is a course that encourages you to think about photography as an art form. Assignments are meant to encourage individual, unique approaches and highlight experimentation.   Getting in-progress feedback is an important part of the course. Introductions to basic lighting ideas and digital and manual manipulation techniques are introduced. There will be individual written and visual assignments, required participation in discussions, as well as a few group activities.

Learning goals:

  • increase your understanding of the creative possibilities and language of photography and its tools.
  • to push yourself with the assignments given – embracing  experimentation and process.
  • to clearly articulate ideas, questions and observations about art, including your own and other students’ work.
  • Acquire an increased understanding of your own potential as an artist.

As we begin the quarter, I as your instructor/professor want to inform you about how to voice concerns that may come up while you’re enrolled in this course. If your concern is something you feel you can discuss with me, I’m open to hearing about it. If it’s not something you feel you can discuss with me, or if we have a conversation about it that doesn’t successfully address your concern, there are other people available to help you resolve it. The nature of your concern can inform whom you should speak with about it: for example, I as your instructor am your first resource for discussing whether your DRS accommodations are being met, while students who are experiencing harassment from a faculty member, staff member, or student could reach out to SafeCampus immediately. The School of Art + Art History + Design Advising team is a fantastic resource for directing you where to go, and you can find a detailed explanation of the various pathways available to you on the School’s Voicing a Concern document. The link is available in our syllabus, or in the School’s website under the tab labelled “The School.”

The School of Art + Art History + Design believes that all students have the right to voice concerns that come up within the scope of their classes. We are here to support you and to work with you in building a positive learning environment.
