MAPH 2000Introduction to Photography3
This class introduces students to important ideas and work from the history of photography as a means of contextualizing and articulating their work. Utilizing both a digital and analog workflow, including 35mm film and darkroom processes, Introduction to Photography moves from camera operation through Photoshop processing to various output formats from web to paper. Emphasis will be placed on the way decisions made at each step of this process contribute to photographic form, function, and meaning. Introduction to Photography consists of technical demonstrations, readings, visual lectures, and group and individual critiques.
This course is a thorough exploration of the materials, processes, and techniques of analog photography. Students acquire a thorough working knowledge of roll film and large-format photography. This course emphasizes advanced understanding of negative exposure, film processing, tonal-range manipulation, digital scanning, and large-format output. Contemporary issues and concepts are explored through reading, visual research, and discussion and then applied through a series of visual problems. Students are evaluated on individual projects, critiques, a final portfolio, discussions, and quizzes.
This course is designed to develop and expand the strategies of photographic representation through projects, readings, writing assignments, critiques, and visual image presentations. Photography is explored as a visualizing medium for related fields: sculpture, performance, literature, science, psychology, social media, etc. Contemporary interest in the materiality of photographic processes including non-camera image making and abstract photography are also explored. Attention to display possibilities as a means to construct context and shape meaning is emphasized. Digital and analog imaging techniques introduced in Photography 1 are further explored.
This course provides students with an opportunity to extend their knowledge and expertise of digital image-making beyond what they have applied in previous photography classes. Through a series of in-depth demonstrations and lectures, students examine advanced issues of image capture, enhancement, and output. The course contains a series of assigned exercises and projects, including a semester-long photographic portfolio project.
