The Practicum provides a series of workshops in core techniques, methods, and technologies. Topics range from introductions to programming, understanding color profiles, basics of circuits and control devices, understanding networks, fundamentals of HD file formats, studio lighting, large format techniques, and so forth. Taught with artistic work in mind, these core areas are vital in understanding how essential technical knowledge can serve the production, dissemination, and conceptualization of artwork which can be approached with working skill sets in areas that ground many practices in photographic and media art. Topics will be presented to demonstrate the usefulness and benefits of taking control of systems.

This course is a studio seminar with critiques and discussion centered around the students’ work and practice within a historical and theoretical framework. Includes visiting critics, artists, historians, and technical workshops.

This course is a continuation of PH 5590.

This studio course serves as an introduction to working with the lens-based medium of photography. The course will focus on the processes of analog photography including the manual operation of cameras, exposing and developing negatives, and making prints on gelatin silver paper. The course provides an opportunity to experience the transformation of the three-dimensional world to a two-dimensional surface through the manipulation of light. Through advanced lectures, demonstrations, dark room lab time, critiques, readings, and discussions, we will also explore the influence of genre, the implications of the practice of the medium, and discern its impact on other artistic practices.
