Creative Arts (continued) 510-907-LA Beyond The Object (Option course for students in Creative Arts - Film/Video/Communications and Photo/Design profiles only) Students will work with objects, images, and architectural space in relating to sculpture. Using a variety of media, they will experiment with ideas about how to manipulate light, sound, space, and time through sculpture objects, and spatial organization. Genres of contemporary sculpture that will be investigated are: installation, video/performance, set and scenery for theatre and/or animation, assemblage, and works that invite interaction or participation of an audience. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 511-101-LA Intro to Photo/Design (Concentration course for Creative Arts students only) This course introduces the principles and practices of design through the medium of photography. Students will be introduced to both the historical process of black and white photography and the contemporary technology of colour image making. In B+W, students will learn about camera function and darkroom technique and they will create a series of technically proficient prints using proper contrast, density and exposure. While learning the colour process they will study colour theory as it pertains to both traditional photography and the digital realm. They will learn basic concepts of editing and sequencing, and produce a coherent series of thematic images. The main objective of the course is to enable students to turn ideas into visual images. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 511-201-LA Color Photography (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts – Photo/Design profile only) This course explores colour techniques and the aesthetics of creative photography. Some of the technical topics covered are colour theory, filters, film types, digital camera function, and RAW image processing using Photoshop. The use of colour in photojournalism, portraiture, fashion, narrative and stock imagery will also be explored. Critiques of students work will be supplemented with studying the work of well-known photographers in order to develop selfcritical and analytical skills. Students will use this foundation to express their ideas and create a coherent series of photographs. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-101 (or with written permission from instructor) 511-202-LA Black & White Photo Workshop (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Photo/Design profile only) This course is a bridge between technique and creative photography. Techniques covered will include using different films and lenses, controlling contrast through film development, using filters, advanced printing methods, and print spotting. The course will introduce a thematic approach to photography with individual attention paid to each student’s project. There will be opportunities to explore areas of personal interest while relating projects to historical context. Students will learn to use black and white photography as a means of creative expression, as well as to analyse the structure of images and develop a critical vocabulary. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-101 (or with written permission from instructor) 511-203-LA 2D & 3D Design (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Photo/Design profile only) In this course, students will explore visual language, experimenting with formal elements of design and studying how their use and interpretation can shape the meaning of images. They will study the basis of creative theory and brainstorming as a means of generating ideas and understanding the nature of process. The course will examine the transformation of 2 dimensional images in space and time and their conversion to 3 dimensional space and objects, and how this affects the communication between designer and audience. Students will analyze how design elements contribute to the composition of works of art in both historical and contemporary pieces in a variety of media. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-101 (or with written permission from instructor)
Creative Arts (continued) 511-301-LA Studio Photography (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts – Photo/Design profile only) The primary goal of this course is to develop sensitivity to the shaping power of light. Students will explore an extensive range of interior lighting techniques, matching those techniques to appropriate subjects. Students will develop the skills necessary to light almost any interior photographic situation; however the emphasis will be on the creative use of light rather than commercial techniques. A variety of other studio techniques such as backgrounds, table-top photography, and the use of the view camera will be covered. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: (511-201 and 511-202) or with written permission from instructor 511-302-LA 2D Computer Design (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts – Photo/Design profile only) This course is an introduction to the computer as a design tool. It builds on the design principles introduced in 511-203, using students’ photographs as a basis for image generation. The main body of work will be created using Adobe Photoshop. As such students will become proficient with manipulating photographic images by working with layers, editing tools, understanding resolution concepts, managing file formats and preparing files for output. An emphasis will be placed on developing their own visual ideas and original imagery with the computer used as a means rather than end in itself. Projects will include the development of single use images, as well as the transcription of 2D digital images into object and installation specific work. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-203 or with written permission from instructor 511-401-LA Advanced Photo Workshop (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts – Photo/Design profile only) By the end of this course, students will be able to produce a coherent body of work which utilizes and extends the techniques and the analytical and critical skills learned in previous semesters. Students will produce a portfolio of photographs which are thematically cohesive, printed to high standards, and well-presented. Students will design a project, write a project proposal and explain it in class, analyze and solve problems on an on-going basis, and be able to usefully criticize both their own work and that of other students. At the end of the semester, students in this course will present their work in a year-end exhibition which allows them to complete the production cycle from concept to public presentation. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-201 and 511-202; 511-301 or with written permission from instructor (if either 511-201 or 202 are failed, they must be taken concurrently with 511-401) 511-402-LA Digital Photography Workshop (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts – Photo/Design profile only) This course focuses on using the computer to digitally manipulate photographs and further explore the design principles learned in 511-302. Adobe Photoshop will be the main tool of creation with emphasis being placed on advertising design and its impact on the viewing public. Projects will include billboard production and poster design. Students will use digital techniques for the creation of expressive digital artwork. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 511-302 or with written permission from instructor
