Stu­dents will learn con­cepts and ap­plied the­o­ries of dig­i­tal media and the two fun­da­men­tal graphic forms: raster and vec­tor dig­i­tal im­ages and will de­fine and de­scribe sim­i­lar and con­trast­ing fac­tors in each kind of image. The com­par­i­son will also rec­om­mend the best prac­tice, spec­i­fi­ca­tion or stan­dard for using a spe­cific form in a spe­cific ap­pli­ca­tion. Basic dig­i­tal imag­ing ter­mi­nol­ogy, and tech­niques in­clud­ing size, res­o­lu­tion, color space and file el­e­ments, mea­sure­ments and file for­mats. Stu­dents are in­tro­duced to dig­i­tal imag­ing con­cepts through soft­ware such as Adobe Pho­to­shop and Il­lus­tra­tor on the Mac­in­tosh op­er­at­ing sys­tem. Scan­ning and dig­i­tal pho­tog­ra­phy are in­te­grated into les­son plans.

Students will learn concepts and applied theories of digital media and the two fundamental graphic forms: raster and vector digital images and will define and describe similar and contrasting factors in each kind of image. The comparison will also recommend the best practice, specification or standard for using a specific form in a specific application. Basic digital imaging terminology, and techniques including size, resolution, color space and file elements, measurements and file formats. Students are introduced to digital imaging concepts through software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on the Macintosh operating system. Scanning and digital photography are integrated into lesson plans.

This course will ex­plore the foun­da­tional con­cepts of light and ex­po­sure in pho­tog­ra­phy. Stu­dents will de­velop vi­sual lit­er­acy as well as fram­ing and com­po­si­tional skills. Stu­dents will be­come ac­quainted with a wide range of con­tem­po­rary pho­tog­ra­phers and gain an un­der­stand­ing of how pho­to­graphic style trans­forms sub­ject mat­ter into mean­ing. Using pro­fes­sional light­ing equip­ment and cam­eras, the stu­dent will gain hands-on ex­pe­ri­ence cap­tur­ing dig­i­tal im­ages in the stu­dio as well as on lo­ca­tion. Stu­dents will also learn pro­fes­sional meth­ods and soft­ware to man­age, process and print dig­i­tal im­ages.

This course will explore the foundational concepts of light and exposure in photography. Students will develop visual literacy as well as framing and compositional skills. Students will become acquainted with a wide range of contemporary photographers and gain an understanding of how photographic style transforms subject matter into meaning. Using professional lighting equipment and cameras, the student will gain hands-on experience capturing digital images in the studio as well as on location. Students will also learn professional methods and software to manage, process and print digital images.
