Digital video production is for budding movie-makers with an emphasis on experimentation in the use of the video medium. The primary goal of the course will be to serve as a foundation for further exploration in digital video artwork and storytelling. Attendees will write, direct, act, shoot, and edit short videotapes, with beginning and intermediate instruction. We will cover the fundamentals of shooting, sound, lighting and editing among other production issues. Attendees will form production teams and put these techniques into practice. We will be working at Brown's fully equipped Multimedia Lab and shooting on location at the Brown campus using digital camcorders and editing digitally with iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Each student will take home copies of the finished production on VHS videotape. Demos on camera use, lighting, sound capture and digital editing techniques will take place during the first week of the course. Group discussion and one-on-one help will be provided as needed. We will do group screenings and critiques of completed projects; in addition to critiquing work, we will use these sessions as a way to revisit the ideas presented earlier, and explore what worked and what didn't. This should prove to be an exciting and fun-filled learning experience.

Drawing from a live model, or figure drawing, is making a resurgence in 21st century art practice. There is no better way to hone your drawing skills and powers of observation than to practice depicting the human figure. This challenging and fun mini-session is designed to give students of all levels a concentrated experience drawing from the live model on a daily basis. Because figure drawing is not always offered in high school this course is a great way to add to your portfolio, get a head start in preparing for college art classes, and build skills applicable to other areas of study, such as art history, apparel design, graphic arts, or illustration.

How do the clothes you wear convey to others who you are? How do the objects you own reflect your values? We are all a part of a material culture made up of designed objects, from iPods to eyeglasses. Designed objects, in all their variety, are a currency with which we exchange meaning with one another. We speak to one another through the things around us. For this reason, design plays a special role in the production of culture.

Are the Ralph Lauren model's hips really narrower than her head? Did Iran really successfully launch four missiles? Is that really a photo of Obama's birth certificate? Did a fish really jump right into that grizzly's mouth?!

How much time have you spent considering the importance of color? Are your psychological responses to color driven by biology or conscious choice? How do history and social context determine what different colors signify? Depending on your culture, generation and life story the answers may be quite different. We all have personal histories with and emotional connections to color. Perhaps you have even had an art or science class in which you were introduced to color theory or the color wheel, and you have begun to apply this knowledge to your art projects. But have you ever really explored the complex, multi-faceted world of color in depth?

Photography should not be considered a mere reproduction of what is visible but, as a form of art it can be more an instrument to explore the capabilities of human perception. The photograph taken by the camera is not a mere effect of projected light. Objects in the world before our eyes are processed and interpreted by the brain. The final percept is then fixed on the photographic image when the photographer decides the subject and frames it. This process results in the subjectivity of photographs, the unique visual angle that is proper and exclusive of the photographer's eye. In these terms the human eye and the camera cannot be dissociated, as from the first originates the precept that becomes the object for the creation of the reality seen in the photograph.
