Art Photography - Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree

Working toward this degree, you’ll gain a strong foundation in the use of traditional and digital photographic technologies, the evolution of photographic and video art aesthetics and practice, composition and visual communication, and the ways in which images function in culture and society (Image Literacy).

This course of study bridges traditional black-and-white photography, digital photography, video and moving image art, historical, alternative, and experimental photographic processes, lighting, history of photography, history of experimental film/video, and contemporary trends.

Classes emphasize the technical, creative image making, critical analysis, and visual communication skills needed to prepare for transfer to four-year institutions or employment in the field.
