Creative Photography I

Welcome to Creative Photography I.  This class is designed to teach students the history, science and art of photography.  In this introductory class,  students learn to take artistic (digital) photos. They will analyze photos they have taken and discuss if they fulfill criteria to be seen as art. Several theories of artistic expression will be discussed. Rules of composition, light, exposure, colors, etc. will be reflected on. In a second step the students will develop the competence to alter their digital photos with Photoshop CS5 and CS6. They will be able to change the expression of their photos, combine different shots, creating their personal piece of art. As a final product students will create a portfolio with photos including detailed descriptions of their work.  Please see the syllabus for the class below:
