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