    Summary

    In this introductory class painting and collage techniques are explored and combined in order to expand visual language. Paint as a traditional medium will be unified with the prefabricated nature of collage in order to create aesthetic harmony and produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. Various collage materials will be pulled from magazines, newspapers, old books, cloth and found materials that interplay with acrylic paint applications

    Course Cost

    High School, Undergraduate
    Summary

    The course combines the critical analysis of cell phone photography with the creation of photographic art works that explore this specific medium's experimental, social and documentary potential. The increasing ubiquity of cell phone photography has had a widespread impact on the practice of photography as an art form. We will consider and discuss the ways in which the platforms of cell phone photography (Instagram, Snapchat) are democratizing image-making and transforming notions of authorship and subjectivity to an unprecedented extent, but also how the use of new technological tools help expand notions of creativity and aesthetic standards.
