The Students

Well, here they are, the ragamuffins that have taken over my life this past month. The photo was taken by Bami "my black friend" Adedoyin. Anyway, here's the 411:

Dear Family and Friends,

Please join us from 4 PM to 6 PM on Friday, August 4th in the Gulf & Western Gallery at 721 Broadway for the Tisch Schoool of the Arts Department of Photography and Imaging Summer High School Program Exhibition.

This exhibition is the culmination of student's photographic work during the four-week Summer High School Program, which includes images in response to a range of projects and assignments. Please take time to visit the Exhibition Binder to read student's statements in relation to their work, to view artist's books, and the assignments and readings for the course.

The focus of this program is to use photo-based image making for communication, creative expression and personal exploration. Designed for beginning and advanced students, the program is a rigorous combination of cultural, technical and historical lectures, darkroom work, critiques of student work, critical discussions and written responses to lectures, readings and gallery visits. The course introduced students to 35mm manual cameras, B&W film exposure and dark room printing as well as color slide film, scanning, basic Photoshop and digital color printing.

Thank you for your attendance and support.
