About the Course:
The Digital Photo DeCal is a course intended to introduce students to the world of photography. While previous semesters offered "basic" and "advanced" sections of the class, the format and curriculum for the Spring 2009 semester will be slightly different.
Advanced Theory: This class is similar to the "advanced" course offered the previous three semesters. The Theory class is aimed towards students at any level of photographic experience, and will build a foundation in photographic knowledge from the ground-up (so even if you're completely new to photography, that's fine!). The class will focus on building an understanding of the underlying science behind photography, and technical proficiency in using camera equipment.
Advanced Applications: This is a new class offered for the first time this semester - it can be thought of as an "advanced advanced" course that builds off of the principles and skills learned in the Advanced Theory (previously "advanced") class and applies them to real-world photography situations, rather than just experimenting with them for their own sake. The Advanced Theory class, or equivalent photographic knowledge, will be a prerequisite for this course.
How to Enroll:
While I'd like to allow as many students who are interested to join, I've learned from last semester that this just isn't a good idea - large classes become unwieldly, force the instruction into a lecture format, and are generally too intimidating and formal for good questions, discussion, and interaction. Therefore, the Advanced Theory class will be limited to about 20 students, and the Advanced Applications class will be limited to 10-15 students.
There will be a mandatory introductory meeting during the second week of classes, Thursday 2009 Jan 29, at 6pm in 293 Cory. You will then need to fill out a short questionnaire/application.
Please send me an email if you won't be able to make the meeting. If you've applied to the class before and didn't get in, that will be taken under consideration so make a note of that on your application.
