This introductory course focuses on the technical, historical, cultural, and artistic aspects of color photography. Students will experiment with form and content, using the medium to convey observations and ideas. Students will work in an analog color darkroom and use hybrid methods of analog and digital photography in order to understand how color is translated by photographic material. The course will introduce possibilities of color in photographs and expand students’ ability to interpret color for their own formal and conceptual ends. The class will include weekly laboratory sessions, assignments for critique, readings, and a field trip.
