Fine Arts Seminars are intended to broaden and clarify students' perspective on contemporary art practice. Each semester these seminars shift in focus and subject matter. Seminars may concentrate on art from the perspectives of art history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and so forth, or may take the form of a discipline-based critique focusing on the history, theory, and practice of painting, sculpture, and photography, among others.This course will cover a variety of photographic printing workflows important to the medium of photography and books. We will discuss digital exposure, archival negative scanning, high quality inkjet printing (both black and white and color), and Risograph printing. Our objective isn’t necessarily to make prints that look “correct” as much as we want them to feel right. Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom will be our primary programs, though we will use other ancillary software to achieve our final goals in file prep. Students will also come away with a practical solution for proper file management as well as a broader understanding of the various materials available to them for photographic production. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have created a final portfolio that is the culmination of everything learned and demonstrates an understanding of how these techniques can integrate into their own studio practice.
