Photographic Seeing

Stephen Shore

T 10:10am-1:10pm

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. Class size: 12

Light

Laurence Fink

M 1:30pm-4:30pm

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. Class size: 12

BOOKMAKING FOR VISUAL ARTISTS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS

Daphne Fitzpatrick

F 1:30pm-4:30pm

WDS

PART

This course is open to photographers and visual artists who wish to investigate the visual and conceptual possibilities of the book form. The aim of the course is to give you the opportunity to express yourself in the unique medium of the book, exploring narrative, appropriated and found imagery, structure, and text-image relationships, using such elements as page sequencing, scale and layout. We will create books using print-on-demand digital services such as Blurb (as opposed to hand-binding). Students will make a new book every other week. Demonstrations of the basics of scanning, interface with InDesign and Photoshop, and other tools will augment our regular critiques of books produced. Art-book collections, including those at CCS and the Bard Library, will be essential resources for the course. Prerequisite: One Photography or Studio Arts course. Class size: 10

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.
