Art & the History of Art 124 - Introduction to Digital Photography

This introductory studio course explores artistic expression with the camera through the creation, editing, and printing of digital photographs. Students will develop a digital workflow—covering manual digital camera operation, post-production with Adobe software, and inkjet printing—while developing a personal visual syntax and body of work. The course is structured by technical demonstrations, critical discussions of artworks, films, and texts, as well as regular critiques of student work. Through guided prompts, students will experiment with portraiture, abstraction, observation, and performance. In the second half of the semester, each student will develop a body of work of their choosing. No prior experience required.
