Description
Technical - The Digital Photography course is designed to show you how to use a digital camera to capture images and the computer to edit, manipulate and produce top quality digital photography images for both the Internet and printing. Students will develop an understanding of the technical and aesthetic foundations in color photography through the latest digital technology. Students will take their own traditional or digital photographs and then utilize various digital photographic techniques with Adobe Photoshop and color digital printing to produce their own creative, fine art. Through weekly crits and presentations students will examine the technical aspects of their work including composition, lighting and shadow.
Creative - Students will be required to create a portfolio or digital slide show project at the end the semester with detailed commentary which chronicles the technical and creative aspects of their artistic work and personal experiences during their time in Italy. Students will narrate their presentation with comments and personal critiques of the digital images, the artistic goal and the context in which they were captured.
