2820 Visual Arts - Photography: Career Associate
|
| Students are prepared for entry-level employment in photography. The programs are offered part-time in the evenings and weekends and both part-time and full-time during the day. The complete programs are available only at the Harrisburg Campus; some courses in the program are available at the Lancaster, Lebanon, and Gettysburg Campuses, and at other sites. |
| Training is provided in both the aesthetic and technical principles of photography for entry-level job opportunities of artistic and commercial photographic application. In addition, the program may be taken for personal growth or for advancement by those already employed in some phase of photography or graphic arts. Students should understand that this field often requires an apprenticeship (photographic “assisting”) of several years after graduation before higher level jobs are secured. |
This curriculum is designed to prepare students to:
- Understand the basic craft and aesthetic principles of photography
- Apply acquired skills to both art and commercial photography
- Write and speak effectively
- Appreciate accomplishments in the arts and sciences
