INTRODUCTION:

Participants will work with art materials to explore problems in design and complete outside photographic assignments specifically planned around the basic elements of design and composition. Most art works will be non-objective and broken down into lines, colors, textures, value and shapes.

Objective: An overall awareness for design and composition as well as camera skills will grow by working with each element of design and composition and completing related art projects using various art materials and the photographic image.

Camera: Participants will need a digital camera. Most digital cameras are acceptable. You may email Carolyn with your camera description to be sure. No cell phone photography for the class. Images will be downloaded, discussed and modified in class meetings.

Materials kit including a book on basic design will be provided for each participant. These expenses are a part of the overall cost of the workshop.
