Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will introduce students to the tools of digital imaging. It is broken into four major parts that will offer students a foundation for incorporating digital tools into their artistic photo process as well as emphasize the unique opportunities of medium. Projects will support a critical examination of digital tools and provide a historical context. Foundations will have students experiment with a digital camera and a limited set of editing tools in Photoshop. Scanning and printing will also be explored. Process in digital imaging shows that digital media can be thought of not only as the software, hardware, and networks we utilize but also as the computational logic that underlies and structures these tools. New platforms for photography will be discussed as well as the concepts of compression and extraction.
