self-expression. Systematic instruction in darkroom
techniques along with weekly criticism of individual work will provide the
student with a solid basic understanding of the use of the camera as an
expressive tool. The student must obtain within the first week of class: 1) a
camera (35mm or 21/4”) with fully adjustable f/stops and shutter speeds, 2) a hand-held

PART |
Beyond the material technique of photography
lies a visual technique. This involves learning to see the way a camera sees;
learning how a photograph, by its nature, transforms the world in front of the
camera. The first half of the semester is devoted to exploring this visual
grammar of photography and how it clarifies a photograph's meaning and the
photographer's intent. During the second half of the semester, students pursue
independent projects, putting their visual understanding into practice.
Prerequisite: Photography 101 or 103.

106 Light |

PART |
Light is the co-author of image. Light
can be brazen or bland. It can dramatize or simply describe. This course deals
with the exploration of found light or artificially detonated light - strobe.
Each week the assignments alternate between real or natural light and
artificial or created light. These exercises attempt to
clarify the differences and the similarities between the two kinds and how
light serves the vision of the light within. In the second half of the
semester each student undertakes an individual project based on what has
already been experienced. Learning how to control light broadens a
photographer's perception of the ambient options it offers. Prerequisite: Photography 101 or 103. Not available for on-line
registration.

PART |
This
course is designed to instruct film students in the inextricable importance of the
camera in the construction of all photographic images, both moving and still.
Each weekly assignment will be prompted by a thematic lecture from the history
of photography, and will culminate in a seven-week-long individual project.
Emphases will be placed on the role of form and the pressures, both conceptual
and practical, in building a body of work. Students are expected to have their
own digital cameras, even if only point-and-shoots. Class size: 12

View cameras were the first cameras
and were the primary photographic tool for the first half of photography’s
history. They offer unexcelled clarity, tonality, and image control. The
operation of the view camera and advanced darkroom techniques are demonstrated
in this course. The class explores the expressive potential of the conscious
use of the camera’s precise control of the image. Students are supplied with
4" x 5" camera outfits. Admission by portfolio.

To prepare the student for ongoing
independent work, this course emphasizes the exploration of visual problems. At
the heart of this exploration is asking good questions of oneself and one's
work, seeing how other photographers and artists in other media have dealt with
such questions, and "answering" the questions for oneself
through individual projects. Not available for on-line registration. Class
