| Foundation Black-White Photography: Darkroom and Digital Techniques / PHT 1022 1 |
| |
| This course introduces the camera, darkroom, and digital output as creative tools. You will learn to use various types of cameras and related equipment for the art of composing, shooting, and printing black-and-white photographs. Traditional darkroom techniques and digital inkjet printing will be explored. The digital portion of the course will include the use of Adobe Photoshop software on Macintosh computers. After we have covered the fundamentals, we will shift our emphasis toward photography as a visual language. Class critiques of work from photo assignments, lectures, and exhibitions will provide a forum to critically discuss photography as art, both in personal and cultural terms. Class time will be divided equally between the classroom and supervised darkroom and digital lab sessions. A 35mm camera is required for this course. |

| Digital Photography I - Full / PHT 1030 1 |
| |
| The challenge of digital photography is to manage this rapidly developing technology and still remain creative in your image making. Through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice, students learn to operate digital cameras and to utilize them as precise tools for image capture. Discussions include the camera and equipment options available to digital photographers and how to establish a digital workflow. As students develop technical and aesthetic skills, they explore shooting techniques, composition and framing, as well as the basics of light control. Other topics include image management, using camera RAW, adjustment and editing in Photoshop, and printing digital images. Whether your interest is in fine art, or simply in making the move from film to digital, this course provides a solid foundation. |

| Intermediate - Advanced Black & White Photography / PHT 2022 1 |
| |
| In this course you will refine your competency with the camera and in the darkroom, and further develop your photographic work by learning advanced film exposure and developing techniques. Supervised darkroom sessions will help you refine the subtle aspects of printing. Critical issues pertaining to photography will be explored through assignments, critiques, and illustrated lectures. We will discuss the continuing value of the "wet" darkroom as well as the use of digital tools for creating black-and-white imagery and for documenting and disseminating your work. You will be provided with technical and theoretical readings related to the topics explored in class. As the semester progresses, you will be able to develop more thoughtful, project-based photographic work. Prerequisite: Foundation Black-and-White Photography or the instructor's approval. |

| Color Photography / PHT 2034 1 |

| This course offers a technical and creative introduction to the use of color, color theory, and negative printing for color, and is appropriate for students who have completed a foundation photography course. Exposure and filtration, artificial and natural light, and the use of various films will be covered. We will aim for technical understanding and production as a means to develop your unique voice and vision. Class time will be devoted to working in the darkroom, looking at historical and contemporary color photography, and reviewing your work. By the end of the course you will have a portfolio of finished color prints that represent the expression and resolution of a cohesive idea. |
