Introduction To Digital Photography IN 660PH_ON
with RA Friedman
Achieve the technical knowledge and creative camera skills needed to make powerful, professional-quality photographs using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, from initial capture to final print. Learn the functions, modes, and menus of your camera; how they affect picture-taking; and how to select the appropriate settings for a given environment. Instruction will address shooting in RAW format, employing expressive natural and artificial light, creating setups for portraiture, photo-editing, and post-processing in Adobe Lightroom. Develop a unified body of work ready for exhibition, publication, or a portfolio. Demonstrations, discussions, reviews and short weekly projects are designed to get you up, out and behind the camera! Prior photography experience is helpful, but not necessary. A fully adjustable (pro, “prosumer”) DSLR or mirrorless camera, as well as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop or Gimp software, required. A weekly live Zoom session will be held every Wednesday, 7 – 8 p.m.
Note: This course is available for 1.0 undergraduate credit for $525

Drawing from Photographs (ONLINE) DR 600EP_ON
with Morgan Dummitt
Photographs allow us to expand our subject matter to family members, historical figures, nudes, landscapes, animals, and more. Artists have been using photographs as references for as long as the medium has existed. Learn to apply the fundamentals of classical drawing – measurement, proportion, tone, line quality, and gesture – to drawings made from photographs. Explore traditional materials such as chalks, charcoal, ink wash, and a variety of papers. All materials will be suitable for the home studio. Instruction will be conducted through Canvas via video lectures, demonstrations, and assignments as well as regular critiques. All levels welcome!
A weekly, live Zoom meeting will be held every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
Learning Goals
