Andrea Kyer (Re-introduction to Photography, Summer '07)
Description:

This is a five-week class for those who have taken a photography class before and who want a refresher course. The main emphasis will be placed on the thorough overview of basic technical skills such as understanding of a camera, proper exposure, effects of shutter speeds and apertures, as well as composition. In the darkroom the class will cover the basic procedures of film processing and printing concisely and thoroughly.

Though this is a refresher course, there will be an assignment in order to explore the aesthetics of photography as well as a critique in order to recognize various visual elements and their functions in pictures.

In addition to the in-class meetings, there will be occasional shooting trips and museum and gallery tours outside the class. Although these are not mandatory, students are highly encouraged to attend these extra sessions.
