GRAF 218 Digital Photography

This is an introduction class about contemporary photographic image-making, digital methods of output, and the basic theory of photography. The course will expose and explore basic visual ideas to help the student develop a visual language based on contemporary, cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural artistic strategies. Through a series of self-directed projects and class-assigned exercises, students will be encouraged to experiment with line, composition, scale, text/type, performance, collaboration, narrative, design, software and with materials in order to develop strong tools for further awareness and visual expression in photography.
