Syllabus
|
Monday 11:25-2:30It is suggested that students have a digital camera for successful completion of this course. However, cell phones can be used if no digital camera is available.
Please note: this is a college level art class. All assignments are designed to teach concepts, both visual and conceptual, related to photography. It is not a community education class so you will not be allowed to simply do "whatever you want." I hope this makes sense. |
lab scheduleYou are expected to work outside of class in the Mac Lab to complete assignments. Lab is open based on lab assistant schedule. It will be posted by the second week of the semester.
