ART 150A Photography II: Portraiture

This is a fast-paced and focused course designed to explore various forms of portraiture. Weekly assignments will be given and critiqued. Classroom time will be focused on demonstration of the assignment and to presentation of work. One image for each assignment will be selected for print. Included in this course will be the use of natural light and limited use of artificial light. The goal is to provide students with a basic understanding of lighting the subject as the student builds their portfolio. Because of the nature of this course, a basic understanding of Photoshop is needed. The completion of Photography I or Computer Graphics I is required. Students will be provided with a digital camera but will need to provide their own memory card and flash drive. Prerequisite: Previously completed or concurrently enrolled in ART 10. Carries an Art lab fee.
