| |Use of “flashing” technique |
| |Identify and employ archival presentation technique. |
| |Perform cutting and constructing overmats. |
| |Consider various options for presentation including some of the following: installation, bookmaking, extreme scales, public vs private exhibition |
| |sites, and others. |

ART 172 Intermediate Photography
| |B. |Typical assignments used in achieving learner independence and critical thinking: |
| | |After progressing through the basic principals and practice of the zone system, students are required to document their meter readings and |
| | |“placement” of tones, both low and high tones, develop film and a portfolio of prints appropriate to the lighting and contrast of the scene |
| | |and previsualization of the photograph. Documentation for several of the photographs is turned in with overmatted images |
| | |Each student is required to formulate with feedback from instructor, and individual portfolio project around a theme and/or technique |
| | |appropriate to intermediate-level fine art photography. At least one image or aspect of the project will employ an aesthetic approach other |
| | |than “the straight photographic aesthetic” and will share research about such alternate approach with the class. |
