ART 213 Digital Photography 2

3 hours 

In Digital Photography 2, students create a body of work that shows artistic and conceptual cohesion on a theme of their choice. The work must show conceptual thinking that goes beyond the mere illustration of a subject. There will be discussions on the nature of photography as a medium and as a cultural channel, and on the implications of its use in everyday life, particularly in terms of ethics and justice. Concurrently, students will learn practical skills such as lighting techniques and setups. By the end of the course they should have a body of work that is visually and conceptually sophisticated and an artist's statement - essentially an introduction to professional practice.
