With the ever-present cell phone comes the practiced use of the built-in camera feature. ART 229, Cell Phone Photography, explores the possibilities of the phone as the modern day camera. Having the camera present at all times allows for the documentation of everyday life and the idea that art and imagery are all around you. This course will heighten student's sensory skills, leading to better images and opening up a new form of photography. With the cell phone and the use of the computer, students will create new art forms based upon assignments given to them specifically to be photographed in day-to-day situations. Students will acquire photographic skills in composition, computer rendering techniques in such programs as Photoshop and will create imagery suitable for internet and gallery display. No prerequisites are necessary.
