Art 261 Color Photography

Studio introduction to color photography concentrating on the use of color as an aesthetic tool. Additive and subtractive color theory, color perceptions, and aesthetics are investigated through lecture and shooting assignments. Color materials and alternative color processes are investigated. The use of color by various photographers is examined. Basic 35mm camera controls are mastered, culminating in a portfolio of images. Photographs are output with digital printers. Studio includes lecture, demonstration, critique, and supervised lab work. Students must furnish a focusing camera, film or digital, with adjustable f-stops and shutter speeds. Automatic cameras must have manual override. This course requires that students furnish a laptop computer that meets the departmental standards in terms of hardware and software (see departmental website for requirements).
