Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0150 - Foundations in B&W Photography and 16mm Filmmaking

This workshop will introduce students to the fundamentals of B&W photography, stop-motion animation, and 16mm analog filmmaking. Students will be expected to learn the basics of these media formats and present work for class critique. Contemporary and historical photographic and film works will be shown and discussed as will assigned critical readings. Students taking this course will be expected to produce two to three extended final projects over the duration of the semester, working individually and in collaboration with others in the class. Engaged participation is a critical component of this course and it will, along with an end of the semester portfolio, figure prominently in course evaluations.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Lab fee: $100. In this course, students can generally expect to spend 3-4 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
