Notes:

Art as Experience is a studio course that will introduce students to the aesthetic and
technical aspects of B&W film photography. Together we will investigate the ideas and
practices of contemporary photographers, as well as the history and conceptual motivations
surrounding the medium. As a student, you will work with analog cameras to learn proper
techniques for exposure, develop your own 35mm film, and learn to edit and print your
images in the darkroom. Through this you will acquire the fundamentals of seeing and
expressing your unique perspective, along with a deeper understanding of our visual
language. Class sessions will include individual and collaborative assignments, critical
discussions, lectures, readings and museum visits.
