Experimenting with Images

In this class, students innovate and experiment with using images to create works that move beyond the boundaries of photography. Students explore approaching images through new frameworks, using collage, digital manipulation, found images, AI, video, text and sound. The course introduces artists working with photographic images in lens-based media, sculpture, installation, film and sound practices, including Sarah Sze, Adrian Piper, Alfredo Jaar, Nam June Paik, An-My Lê, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Hito Steyerl and Allan Sekula. Each week students engage in classroom exercises and receive weekly assignments that inspire the creation of new works that push the boundaries of photographic practice.

Course Level / Prerequisite: Intermediate: You are familiar with a camera, whether film or digital. You understand aperture, shutter speed, exposure, white balance, histograms, and how to control focus. You are comfortable editing and processing your images. You may want to learn how to utilize your camera in a more thoughtful and articulate way, or learn more about lighting or how to utilize theoretical concepts in relation to your portfolio of work.

Courses are subject to minimum enrollment. Please register early, within five days of the start-date, to reduce the likelihood of course cancellation and to ensure you receive all course-related materials in time to prepare for class.
