This course is designed for advanced photography students to explore the conceptual
idea of time within the medium of photography, including the utilization of digital
video for personal expression. Through technical exercises in advanced camera work
and video assignments, students will investigate the conceptual idea of time in their
artwork. The course will emphasize computer literacy through the use of specialized
video editing software, as well as presentation software and web design applications.
Classroom discussions, slide lectures, video screenings, gallery visits, research
projects and critiques will expose the students to the conceptual components and
contemporary trends addressing the concept of time.  Students will be required to
engage assignment topics and present their work in the context of historical and
contemporary practices within the medium. In presenting his/her photographs each
student will be expected to assimilate and analyze the topic of the assignment and
present the work orally as well as through various modes and media including the use
of appropriate technology. Students will be expected to engage other students' work
with dialogue that is stylistically appropriate and mature. During critiques students
will learn to communicate for academic and professional contexts, supporting a
consistent purpose and point of view while considering and engaging opposing points
of view. Students will be required to interpret inferences within each photograph
being discussed, developing subtleties of symbolic and indirect discourse.

-Historical and contemporary practices through readings and many video screenings.
-Image and sound capture through digital video and super 8 film with several short 
 assignments to learn techniques followed by longer projects for more in-depth 
 conceptual exploration.
-Software for editing and production work.
