An
introduction to both the techniques and aesthetics of black and white

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 reflected light exposure meter. No previous darkroom experience is
required. This class is open only to Upper College students who have

105 A Photographic Seeing |

1:30 pm-4:30 pm |
WOODS |
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

106 Light |
Larry Fink |

1:30 pm-4:30 pm |
WOODS |
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

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

conscious use of the camera’s precise control of the image. Students are

BOOKMAKING FOR VISUAL ARTISTS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS |
Tanya Marcuse |
M . . . |
10:10am-1:10pm |
WOODS |
PART |
Cross-listed: Studio Art 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 provide students working in a
variety of media with the opportunity to express themselves
in the unique medium of the book, 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 book-binding). Students will make a new book every other
week. Demonstrations 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.

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 size: 8
