F06
Stephen Barker
The course will investigate the way in which light conveys emotional, narrative, and psychological meaning. The goal is to increase students’ experience in recognizing and shaping these effects. Slide lectures will draw from the history of photography, as well as cinema and contemporary art. Workshops will involve small collaborative teams in a variety of studio situations using the sun, tungsten, and strobe lights. Polaroid film will allow immediate feedback. Group critiques will address form assignments within the student’s chosen subject matter.
