This course introduces students to methods of seeing as they explore the fundamentals of photography. Students learn analog camera techniques and darkroom printing as they develop their technical and creative skills. Students are encouraged to embrace risk as they respond to conceptual and aesthetic challenges, exploring the possibilities of the medium, and refining their craft. The historical and contemporary function of still imagery is introduced as students begin to produce and visualize their work in a broader context. Students also develop research strategies and critical dialogue relating to creative and cultural practices in the field. Weekly photographic assignments, discussions, writing exercises, lectures, field trips and critiques further the students’ understanding of picture-making possibilities in all areas of photography. This studio course runs in tandem with Core Lab 1.
