In this art class you'll create images using digital photography. We'll cover the basics of camera use, formal and conceptual concerns, and image editing, through readings, quizzes, exercises, and 5 assignments designed to challenge you to creatively express your ideas. You will also be required to write a short review of a photographer who inspires you. An SLR digital camera with a "manual" setting option, or phone camera with a required mobile app is recommended. Point and shoot cameras are acceptable, but may limit techniques you can use in some photography assignments, however, this need not affect your grade. Printing will be discussed, but not required.
