COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Students will broaden their creative abilities by being made aware

   of a wide range of materials and techniques which can be used to

   produce photo image.

2.  By individual exploration, working under guidance of an instructor,

   students will strengthen their technical knowledge of a broad range

   of techniques and processes available to the individual today.

3.  Working with knowledge gained, students will produce a wide variety

   of photo imagery during the course of the semester.

Topics and Scope

1.  An overview of the photographic process.

2.  Photo sensitive materials and their uses, including high contrast,

   non-traditional materials, non-photographic light sensitive materials,

   color photographic processes.

3.  Creative approaches to the image-abstract and literal subject matter.

4.  Creative camera techniques, lenses, filters, zooming, blur, various

   films.

5.  Creative darkroom techniques, bas relief, high contrast, the

   Sabbatin effect, multi-image printing, multiple exposures, "found

   imagery", texture screens, photo sculpture, computer graphics,

   color materials.

6.  Creative photo techniques, bas relief, high contrast, Sabbatier

   effect, multi-image printing, multiple exposures, found imagery,

   texture screens, photo sculpture, computer graphics and color

   materials.

Course Contents:

1.  Create photographs using non traditional means.

2.  Explore and research historical, non silver photography.

3.  Use non silver chemistry to create photo imagery.

4.  Prepare and present a portfolio of finished work.

Assignments:

1.  Weekly assignments, utilizing techniques and materials discussed

   and demonstrated in class, as well as a portfolio at the conclusion

   of the semester, reflecting use of these techniques and materials.
