Artists see the world differently than one another. The same thing, photographed by different people, can yield vastly different effects and meanings. This course teaches students how to develop their artistic visions and to notice the ways in which the visual elements of the world around them interact to affect our perceptions and our lives.
This course covers all of the tools and techniques a budding photographer needs and allows students the freedom to independently explore and develop their photographic vision. Compositional tools such as framing, “rule of thirds,” light, texture, pattern, lines, symmetry, depth of field, distance, perspective, space, and balance are the center of projects and discussions.
