Media Art Ph I

Photography I: Students will explore the basics in photography through this class. First experiences will include exploration of cameras and photo manipulation. Students will gain the knowledge and ability to produce photographs and appreciate the functional and aesthetic aspects of photography. Students will develop an art vocabulary and refine their perceptual skills as they learn to use the camera as an effective tool.

A DSLR camera is needed. Students must provide their own manual DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera per teacher specifications:  A limited number of cameras will be available for rent on a per-project basis. Please contact the Art Department chair with camera questions.
