Description

In this course, you will learn to visually organize the elements within a photographic image. Through lectures, assignments, self-directed projects, and critiques, you will examine the history of composition and its various elements (line, shape, colour, texture, depth, surface, balance, golden ratio), and how inclusions and omissions in the image influence potential interpretations of the work. Additionally, the course will introduce you to the possibilities of producing engaging images. This course does not include darkroom or computer lab access.
