ARTS 208 - Digital Photo & Social Media


3 Credit Hours
Digital photography is all around us but is often taken with automatic settings and minimal thought. In this course, students will learn the three basic components that contribute to a photo\2019s exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. We will also cover how to form captivating compositions in portraiture and landscape, as well as captioning a photo and placing it into a series to enhance its narrative quality. Lastly, we will improve our knowledge of the social media landscape, including content creation, profile curation, and the ethics of engaging in a digital world. A digital SLR may be checked out on campus if necessary.
