Having become more familiar with the drawing process, students will be encouraged through intensive weekly assignments to expand and challenge the conventions of markmaking. As with any discipline, familiarity with the rules allows the users to seek alternatives and develop definitions of how the drawing process can best be suited to their own visual vocabulary. The range of exercises could include traditional materials on paper as well as non-traditional methods and exercises. Prerequisite:    ArtS 100

  • ARTS 252: The Human Image: Photographing People and Their Stories

    3.00 Credits
    Williams College

    The single most photographed subject is the human form. The motivations and strategies for imaging faces and bodies, both individual and aggregate, are as varied as the subjects themselves. In this course, we will examine some of the many approaches used to photograph people. We?ll start by exploring self-portraiture, and progress to photographing others--both familiars and strangers, in the studio and in less controlled environments. We?ll end with a consideration of ?documentary? photography and other visual narratives. In each case, we?ll examine our reasons for making an image, and the methods available for achieving these goals. Thus, the class will have a significant technical component, dealing with the creative use of camera controls, the properties and uses of light, and digital capture and processing. We will also examine the conceptual and scientific bases for how we perceive and evaluate images. Students will initially use school-supplied digital cameras, and later have the option of using film. Prerequisite:    200 level; students from all disciplines are welcome; previous photography experience is desirable, but not essential; However, permission of the instructor is required
