COURSE DESCRIPTION
This class extends the student's experience beyond the fundamentals
of beginning photography. Students are expected to already have
a firm grasp of exposure, film development, and printing. Arts
228 is a project-structured course, with lectures, demonstrations,
project assignments, critiques, and discussions.
I
expect each student to generate expressive work, and to explore the
intensity of art making. Conceptual attributes and the integrity of
process will be considered as integral components of each project.
More general goals for students include understanding art making as
a practice connected to other disciplines and activities, and experiencing
that their wrok as a group is important to their individual success.
CRITIQUES
Critiques of assignments are important to the progress of
each individual in the class, and to the success of the
course itself.
The critique
fosters development of an ability to verbalize visual concepts,
and will help you learn to see actively.
Critiques are a time for articulating your ideas and formal
decisions, and for discovering how your creative products
communicate through
larger systems of symbolism, visual associations, memory,
metaphor, psychoanalytic readings, and the history of
knowledges and
materials. Participation in critiques will be considered
in grades for all
assignments.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
Attendance is mandatory and essential to the course.
An unexcused absence is one where you do not talk
to me in
class prior
to your absence.
For each class you miss, you will lower your grade
by one point out of a total of 100 points.
Open Labs are mandatory class sessions. If you
come to the beginning of class, but are unprepared
to
work in
the lab,
you will be
considered absent. There are required events
on campus to attend outside of
class.
If you miss a critique, you will receive an F
for that assignment. Assignments 1-3, if turned
in
on a critique
day, will be
eligible for re-submittal for grade re-evaluation.
