day. Students are challenged to produce well-considered, technically competent and visually engaging work. The students’ work can be purely digital in nature, or hybrid, incorporating any other photographic processes and techniques he/she considers to be beneficial to aid the outcome of the end product. Students may work in black and white, color or a combination of both. Prerequisite: PHOT 111 or PHOT 120. Offered: Occasionally. One lecture hour, four lab hours. PHOT 265 EXTREME PHOTOGRAPHY ! (3) A production course that encourages risk-taking strategies and radical approaches in the making of photographs. Work expressed in forms such as mixed media, installation, large scale prints, new approaches to collage, political, narrative, autobiographical, diaristic, constructed, directorial, sequential, use of text and others may be explored. Prerequisite: PHOT 111 or PHOT 120. Offered: Occasionally. One lecture hour, four lab hours. PHOT 270 VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY ! (3) Northern New Mexico and other distinct communities have been the subject of many anthropological and photographic research projects. In this course students learn to document the distinctive character of Santa Fe and surrounding communities using anthropological and photographic methods. Prerequisite: PHOT 111 or PHOT 120. Offered: Occasionally. One lecture hour, four lab hours. PHOT 275 PHOTOGRAPHING THE FIGURE ! (3) Photographic exploration of the human figure in various contexts. Aesthetic, historical and social issues are emphasized. Classes are used for lectures, presentations, discussions, regular critiques. Assignments are designed to deepen understanding of photography in contemporary and historical contexts. Prerequisite: PHOT 111 or PHOT 120. Offered: Occasionally. One lecture hour, four lab hours. PHOT 280 DIGITAL IMAGING FOR FINE ARTS (3) Focuses on creating imagery that is expressive, experimental and collaborative in an effort to explore the photographic medium as it intersects artistically with the traditions of drawing, painting and printmaking. Assignments are designed to deepen understanding of photography in contemporary and historical contexts. Prerequisite: PHOT 111 or PHOT 120. Offered: Occasionally. One lecture hour, four lab hours. PHOT 285 ARCHIVAL PRINTING (3) For artists and photographers wanting to produce archival, exhibition-quality large-format, ink jet prints. Students will
explore monitor calibration, media profiling, large format file creation and aesthetics of the large format print. Students acquire a practical knowledge of image management from input/creation to archival output, as well as producing their own fine art prints. May be taken twice for degree or certificate credit. Prerequisite: PHOT 111. Offered: Occasionally. Three lecture hours.
