Photography Atelier is a unique portfolio-making course for artists in any photographic medium, (black and white, color, slides or prints, print-making, alternative processes, video, or electronic imaging), who feel ready to produce an emotionally and intellectually focussed body of work. In this seminar students work with the photographic media of their choice to produce a coherent collection of images. At each meeting, students bring their work for group discussion. In addition, instructors teach how to master techniques of composition in order to communicate multi-valent photographic ideas, how to make photographic books, how to edit photographs, digitize images, and design a website. Emphasis in this course is on creating art work which is richly allusive. The instructors offer philosophical and aesthetic viewpoints which incorporate insights from the history of photography and the history of women's participation in the creation of cultural meaning. Students have access to the photographic archives of the Fogg Art Museum and to books in the Fine Arts Library. A fully equipped black and white darkroom for processing and printing black and white photos is available for a lab fee. Each participant presents a final project in the form of a portfolio, a photographic book or album, a slide show, or a mixed media presentation. Student work from the Atelier is shown in gallery and/or as an on-line Web exhibition. This Seminar is open to intermediate to advanced students who feel ready to produce an emotionally and intellectually focused body of work. Limited enrollment.
