(see times)
COLOR THEORY AND SYMBOLISM IN PHOTOGRAPHYVictoria Mara Heilweil4 sessions >> Tuesdays, March 5- March 267:30-10:30 pm, MCR, $195No prerequisite. Students may use any camera in this class, even an iPhone.
Color is a complicated topic, and it takes focused study and experimentation to understand it. Though we see in color, it is easy to take it for granted in a representational medium such as photography. This course trains you to see color, and use it creatively in your photographs. Class time will include discussions and lecture on color theory, and In-class exercises to explore what we discuss as a class. You will be photographing between classes, and there will be class time devoted to receiving feedback on your work. While the class is primarily focused on shooting, there will be some discussion of adjusting color using Photoshop and Lightroom to further enhance your photographs. Presentations of historical and contemporary color photographers will illustrate concepts each week, and inspire student photographs. You will walk away with greater knowledge about the power of color and how to harness it to your benefit.
