ART 153 - Lighting for the Visual Arts

Credits: 3
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2
Light as a basic essential principle common to all photography is explored, with an emphasis on studio set ups. Students will learn to use tungsten quartz constant source lighting as well as electronic flash (strobe) and natural light to illustrate basic lighting techniques. A final portfolio of photographs will be produced. Additionally there will be instruction and demonstration of location lighting techniques. This course is intended for students interested primarily in photography, even though the principles taught are relevant to drawing, painting, video production, and filmmaking.
