COURSE OUTLINE: ART 4443 PHOTOGRAPHY AS A FINE ART The aim of this course is to give the advanced student an in-depth study of photographic tools and techniques in order to facilitate the student's artistic expression in the medium of photography. ART 4403, Photography for the Graphic Designer or JOUR 3043, Photography, or the instructor's permission is prerequisite to this course. It is helpful if ART 1043, Drawing II, ART 1013, Design I and ART 4503 History of Photography have been successfully completed. In addition to regularly scheduled class time, this course requires lab sessions outside of class. Lab times will be arranged at the beginning of the semester. All students must pay a $20.00 lab fee prior to using the lab. Grades will be based on evidence of the student's expressed knowledge of photographic techniques, design skills, following the limitations and parameters of the assignments and the originality of the presented solutions as personal expression of the photographic aesthetic. Students are expected to work at the senior level and to take full responsibility for their acts: Don't miss lectures or labs and expect the instructor to give individual instruction, critique or extra consideration. The student is expected to participate actively in critique and all group sessions. Final grade in this course will be based on a portfolio of work completed expressly for this class, and a research paper/project, as well as active participation in classroom discussion and critique and a public display of the students' work. Attendance Policy: This is a Senior level course, and as such the student cannot fail the course for lack of attendance. However, attendance is an indication of the student's commitment to his or her area of study. Therefore, my policy is to allow absences for twice the number of regularly scheduled weekly meetings without penalty. For every absence beyond those allowed, I deduct one project grade point in calculating the student's cumulative grade. Example: A Student in a MWF class misses nine times (three beyond those allowed) and has at the final a total of 48 points. In this course 46 is the cut off between B and C. When I deduct the three points for the excessive absences, the grade drops to C. The textbook is: Photography by Bruce Warren Other suggested reading:
