PHOT 5: Introduction to Photography



PHOT 5
A survey of the historical and practical aspects of photography as an art form and social document. Students will be introduced to the use of light, composition and communication through images. Significant photographers from a diversity of backgrounds will inspire students in the practice of photography and developing an understanding of the varied uses of the photographic image in our culture including advertising, journalism, social concern, fine art, and scientific applications.

Three hours lecture, Three hours laboratory. (4 Units)

Note from Kate: This class will introduce your to the magic of your camera and the art of photography. We will learn about inspiring photographers and with their examples, learn to make photographs that communicate. With a mixture of informative lectures, readings, assignments, discussions and field trips, you will come to see more and capture what you see in your photographs. I hope you will join us for a wonderful quarter! Email me with any questions at jordahlkate@foothill.edu.
