Advanced Studio Concepts - Photo & Film (Commuter)

Photographic imagery and videos surround us, every day. They are embedded in culture and greatly contribute to frame our understanding of ourselves, others and the world around us. As such, lens-based artists have the ability to reproduce the world in impactful and genuine ways. In this class, students learn the impact of these mediums and use their cameras to document, challenge and explore the relationship between photography and video-based practices with intent to share, inform and influence the viewer in various ways. Through looking at the work of contemporary artists, local field trips, purposeful image selection and editing techniques, emphasis is placed on developing strategies that allow the student photographer to become visible in their own work.
