ART 190 - Photography: an Introduction

Institution:

Southern Maine Community College

Subject:

Description:

This class will introduce and explore the technical, historical, and contemporary concerns of photography as a form of artistic expression. Much of the work will be done in the digital environment, but projects will include other forms of making photographic. Students will gain a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop as it relates to more traditional modes of image making. The central goal of the class is for students to learn and expand the vocabulary and grammar of the medium and find their own way of using it creatively to express original visual ideas and unique perspectives. Discussions will focus on gaining an understanding of the contemporary and historical contexts from which we work. Class time will be devoted to lectures, demonstrations, critiques, slide talks, and visits to galleries and museums.
