In-studio capture will be supplemented with instruction in intermediate digital processing and large format printing. Combining technical skills set with a series of idea-based and aesthetic prompts supports students in refining their craft to support their personal vision. This is a studio-based course and will be supplemented by readings, discussion, and artist presentations. Students are required to use a camera with manual settings. If you do not have a suitable camera, there are cameras available for checkout.
