Course on Digital Imaging: Learning to Look

A course to learn how to tell stories using digital images, encouraging an active and creative use of photography.

In addition, you will develop a critical look at the constant presence of image in modern society and the variety of ways in which we see reality.

We will first study still images and then move on to motion pictures, grasping the basics of photography: composition, framing, lighting, landscape photography, the rule of thirds, and other concepts. You will be encouraged to work in groups when planning your images, coming up with creative solutions for your assignments and resorting to experimentation, creativity, and play. In search of inspiration, you will visit the exhibitions dedicated to Anthony McCall and Paul Pfeiffer.

You are welcome to bring your mobile phone or tablet along to take pictures. If you cannot bring your own device, you will get a camera from us.

To sign up for this course, a parent or guardian must sign a form authorizing picture taking during the workshops. The course is conceived of as a series of progressive workshops to unfold from October to May.

Color, form, composition, and lighting are the tools we need to say what we want to say with a picture.
