Course Name Course Number
Basic Digital and Film Photography PHOT 10 (VOC)
  • Identify and describe the parts of a camera (i.e. lens, f/stop, shutter, etc.) and their functions.
  • Relate aperture settings to resulting depth of field characteristics.
  • Select and present photographs in a presentation format appropriate to the subject (e.g. dry mounting , digital media, projection.)
  • Identify compositional elements (i.e. line, texture, shape, patterns, perspective) of a photographic image.
  • Select appropriate output media (i.e. digital or silver gelatin) for photographic prints.
  • Demonstrate appropriate shutter settings for motion and freeze action.
  • Determine correct exposure values to produce photographic images.
  • Students completing Photography courses will know the core skills of f/stop control. They will understand the standard f/stop values (1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32) and how aperture affects exposure, and depth of field.
  • Students completing Photography courses will demonstrate proficiency in shutter control. They will understand standard shutter speed settings (1000, 500, 250, 125, 60, 30, 15, 8, 4, 2, 1) and their functions, specifically how shutter speed regulates both exposure and the rendering of motion in an image.
Design: Two Dimensional ARTD 20
  • Students completing an assignment in Area C (Arts) courses will be able to analyze modes of artistic expression.
  • Two-Dimensional Design students will be able to list all of the elements and principles of design by the eighth week of the semester.
  • Perceive and interpret the 3-D world through contour line drawings.
  • Identify, evaluate, discuss, and use the formal elements and principles of design and forms of compositional structure.
  • Students will accurately identify three different spatial devices
  • Students will be able to identify the three basic types of balance/symmetries.
  • Make use of critical thinking (reading, writing, listening, speaking, observing and assessing) skills elemental to the problem solving of design and the visual arts.
  • Recognize, analyze and interpret the expressive and creative qualities of art media in a work of art as it affects elementary compositional decisions.
  • Use historic and current forms of abstraction in the visual arts.
  • Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of hues to the conceptual pigment color wheel by mixing, analyzing, appraising, and identifying color correct swatches for
  • Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color complements by mixing, analyzing and appraising complementary tones (chromatic grays).
  • Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color to value by mixing, analyzing, and appraising monochromatic tints and shades relative to the achromatic value scale.
  • Use value to describe form and express light logic.
  • Use the formal elements, principles of design, and principles of gestalt to create well-designed studio projects in achromatic value and color.
  • Differentiate preferential, factual, and judicious thinking elemental to solving problems in design and visual arts.
Digital Animation ANIM 175
  • Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to create web compatible animation through the proper use and workflow of the Flash interface.
  • Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to create an animated movement for an object using motion tweening and the motion editor.
  • Manage project timelines, layers, and compositions for efficient animation.
  • Use software and techniques common to the motion graphics field.
  • Create original motion graphics that synthesize the principles of animation, design, and cinematography appropriate to the field.
  • Analyze and evaluate motion graphic projects for content, technique, and design through oral and written critique.
  • Produce motion graphics demonstrating the use of logic and creativity per industry standards.
