ART 4007 PHOTOGRAPHY: BEGINNERS
This course will focus on how to use the camera to take a photograph. Photographic optics, correct exposure, developing the negative, making contact prints and enlargements (using lighting and filters), and finishing and mounting prints will be taught. Students will be introduced to the aesthetics of photography - the visual elements of form, texture, pattern and line - and how to deal with them photographically. The aim is to develop individual style. The work of some important photographers will also be examined. Three required hours of lab time per week.
