Summer Pre-College Core Studio Concepts - Photography

This course covers basic principles of all forms of photography using digital technology. Projects encompass studio portraiture, city landscape and photojournalism of local events, while incorporating camera handling, digital manipulation and printing. Students engage in the practice of group critiques to gain insight, learn how to talk about their work and to propel their ideas. The session ends in a gallery exhibition of work created during the class. Students must bring their own digital camera with adjustable aperture and shutter speed controls. Core Studio Concepts gives students a chance to take two classes. Carefully constructed courses address two- and three-dimensional issues of composition, form, design, mark-making and color. These non-credit courses are for beginning to intermediate ability level. Classes are held Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Need based scholarships are available.
