Introduction to Photography Course Syllabus Spring 2012 University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) [Course Objectives: The richness in photographic education comes from the “image”<inactions—from helping students see and make creative connections between the art form and their lives. Photography is an immediate and accessible medium, making it a useful educational tool. A balanced curriculum in photography incorporates studies on the history, techniques, aesthetics, and practice of the medium. This hand<on approach—at once grounded in the image and opens to the imagination—most effectively advances students’ knowledge and skills. Whether teaching photography or another discipline, in a school or after<school setting, educators can capitalize on a visual learning experience that motivates students to learn.] Course Code: GED 211 Course Title: Introduction to Photography Faculty: Razibul Hossain, Sr. Lecturer, MSJ Course Overview: This class concentrates on many areas of photography: technical skills, creativity, composition, computer/digital imaging, and some alternative processes.
