Digital Photography

Catalog description

This course builds on the student’s prior experience in ART 2060 and/or NMA 2050 in order to learn the theoretical, creative, and technical elements of digital photography. Through readings, class lectures, critiques, relevant software, and using their cameras, students learn to create visually compelling images, both individual and as a body of work, and to write cogently about their work, that of other students, and the work of artists working in the field. Students are introduced to key theories and concepts in photography, new media arts, and digital imaging. Students must provide their own adjustable digital camera. “Point and-shoot”cameras are not acceptable.Students may take either NMA 3061 or ART 3061 with the proper prerequisite,but they may not take both courses. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-grade replacement policy.
