The Art of Composition

Class Description:

Photography is one of the few artistic mediums that is used every day for very utilitarian purposes. The content of this course, however, will address photography from a purely artistic standpoint. You will learn how to thoughtfully compose an image through knowledge of the elements and principles of design and compositional guidelines. Building upon art fundamentals such as line, color, texture and movement and incorporating photographic framework such as rule of thirds, depth of field, and angle, you will have the knowledge and inspiration to transform your images from simple snapshots to meaningful and powerful photographs. Camera functions, shooting assignments and critique will all be methods of instruction. No prior experience required. Students may opt to take this class before Intro to DSLR or after.
