This course will reinforce and build upon the skills learned in the first semester of Photographic Arts I. It will emphasize aesthetics, craft, visual problem solving and critical thinking skills - the foundations of the Photographic Arts curriculum. In this semester, the studio will be introduced as a space that can be used to create and control light. This course's curriculum will continue to emphasize both craft and visual problem solving required in high-level photographic imaging.

Photography Independent Study will provide students with the ability to study in a specialized area with an individual faculty member. Students, with the assistance of a faculty adviser, will propose a course of study. Photography Independent Study students must obtain permission of an instructor and complete the Independent Study Permission Form to enroll.

This course is the first in a sequence of two principal critique and production classes for students in the fine art photography option of the BFA program. Students will undertake conceptually driven assignments to investigate their ideas through a critical engagement with peers within the context of contemporary photographic practices.

This course is a creative exploration of the hybrid technology between traditional film-based color photography and digital imaging. Students will use film and progress through analog to digital conversion. Proper scanning techniques, information on proper color management and procedures for digital image editing and manipulation will be outlined. Various methods of printed output will be discussed and explored. Students will conceive and design their own photographic project and produce a portfolio of prints.

This course will offer a creative exploration of technology through traditional analog color photography and digital imaging using both film and digital technologies. The class will explore effective film scanning techniques, color workflows and procedures for digital image editing and manipulation. The class will discuss various methods of output and experience them first-hand through assignments. Students will conceive and design their own photographic project and produce a body of work. Students will also undertake research and explore their findings through written research papers pertinent to their own artistic exploration.

An independent study allows graduate students in the Photography and Related Media program the ability to study in a specialized area with an individual faculty member. Students, with the assistance of a faculty adviser, should propose a course of study or project with clearly defined goals and outcomes. Students must obtain permission of an instructor and complete the Independent Study Permission Form to enroll. **NOTE: Student must have a minimum 3.0 GPA *
