PHOT 105 A Photographic Seeing |
Stephen Shore |
. T . . . |
10:10 am -1:10 pm |

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. Not available for on-line registration. Class size: 12

PHOT 106 Light |
Larry Fink |
M . . . . |
1:30 pm -4:30 pm |
WDS |
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.
