In this course students will explore digital photography and related technologies for the production of fine art. Students will be given assigned readings and writings, will be asked to produce art work and will be asked to participate in class discussion to better understand the physical, conceptual and theoretical characteristics of the electronic media as it pertains to art and art making. Emphasis will be placed on the students' development of an understanding of the evolution of and the theory associated with art, photography and electronic imaging in a way that will help them to produce expressive and thoughtful works of art. Students will be introduced to the basic technology necessary for the production of their art work. Students will be expected to demonstrate an ability to use the tools competently in the production of their art work; however, the production and analysis of expressive and thoughtful art work is the main objective of this course.
