and aesthetics of black and white photography as a means of 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

A Photographic Seeing |
|
M 10:10 am-1:10 pm |
WDS |
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.

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.

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. Class
