Course Delivery- Hybrid: I plan to deliver my 2D Design course in the hybrid mode. I plan to offset in-class interactions with online interactions each week. Therefore, as the semester allows, I will meet in-class with students 1-2 sessions per week, combined with 1-2 online interactions and/or discussion board assignments. A studio/classroom will be available for students to use during and outside of class time. To allow for proper distancing, depending upon enrollment size, class will be divided into two working groups in adjacent rooms during in-class lab sessions.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: Class time consists of three components in varying proportions, depending on the topic: 1) Introductory presentations/discussions and/or demonstrations of class projects. 2) Working time for individual responses to projects, with ongoing personal instruction and critique of work-in-progress. 3) Periodic group critiques for feedback and evaluation at the conclusion of each project.
For remote learners, the three components above will be facilitated in the following manner:
1. Demonstrations/Presentations: All demonstrations/presentations/discussions will be recorded and posted on Blackboard. A follow up question and answer session will follow, utilizing either email, phone, or video conferencing.
2. Personal Instruction: Remote students will photograph and post their work-in- progress in a designated Shared Google Drive where I can view it and offer feedback and instruction. This may be written commentary, or carried out by phone or teleconferencing, as the situation and student preference demands.
3. Group Critiques: All students, in-person and remote, will photograph and post their finished work in another designated Shared Google Drive for the class to view and comment on. Remote learners will be able to view and comment on their in-person classmates, and in-person class members will view and comment on the work of their remote peers. We will do this through written commentary, and teleconferencing.

Course Description: Emphasis is on developing a thorough understanding of the 35mm camera, its operations, and its application as a tool for self-expression. The basics of lighting, exposure, film processing, contact and projection printing, and image presentation are covered. Slide presentations and weekly critiques coincide with hands-on experience. Students must have continuous access to a 35mm camera with adjustable controls. Prerequisite: ART 112 or consent of instructor. Fall, Spring (Group IV) ($75 studio fee.)
Course Delivery- Hybrid: I plan to deliver my photography course in the hybrid mode.

Both a digital lab (with properly distanced stations) and a studio/darkroom environment will be available for students to use during and outside of class time.
For Photography I, the majority of the course will be focused on digital photography. As such, we will have little disruption should we need to transition into a fully remote learning environment. In-person sessions will allow for group critiques, lectures, as well as (distanced) group projects/shooting exercises.

For the upper levels (Photo II/III/IV), as the semester allows, in-person class time throughout the first half of the semester will be spent learning analog (non-digital/screen oriented) historic photographic processes. Ample darkroom/studio space in Edgar Hall will allow for proper distancing. Concurrent with the analog instruction/assignments, upper level students will work on digital photography assignments and continue hone their image editing skills. As such, we will have little disruption should we need to transition into a fully remote learning environment.
