This class will include field trips, shooting assignments, and a research assignment. This course will cover both film and digital workflow, as well as selected readings and music selections to stimulate the creative thought process. Students can work in teams or individually. The instructor will present the work of widely recognized artists from the history of photography, as well as lesser known photographers.
