2019-20 Unit Plan
Photography

Mission Statement

The photograph has greatly influenced our visual heritage and is a medium practiced by countless people worldwide.  我们的使命是为学生提供高质量的摄影技术教育, aesthetics, creativity and content, 以及摄影的历史和当代趋势.

We strive to provide both commercial, and fine art students, access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology, and to instill a strong sense of photographic history as well as grounding in current photographic theory. Digital and traditional approaches to the medium are explored as both represent the historic and current trends in the industry.  We believe the many aspects of fine art photography inform and improve commercial work and vice versa; this multi-disciplinary philosophy underlies most of our curriculum.

Photography has gone through significant technological changes since the development of electronic imaging.  Photography education in the 21st century must maintain relevance to meet the needs of contemporary students.  Photography instructors have an opportunity to create a dynamic new paradigm that blends the full spectrum of the photographic experience.


Program Description

Butte College�s Photography Program offers two areas of training for students interested in a career in photography: a major in Commercial Photography and a major in Fine Art Photography. Courses in digital and traditional photography provide a strong foundation for either career path.

而商业摄影课程-提供技术的重点,使学生能够 
create images to professional standards, fine art classes offer instruction in the manipulation of 
materials, creative expression, development of a personal esthetic and presentation in order to allow photographers to create a strong personal response to personal issues as well as those in the world around them.

However, we strongly encourage students to participate in both venues; since artists can benefit 
from strength in technique and a strong personal esthetic can give a commercial photographer the 
edge needed to be successful in their chosen career. This unique integration of the two areas of 
摄影专业知识,通常与教育分开,是该计划的原因之一 
recognized by the community at large as one of the strongest and most diversified photography 
departments in Northern California.

Our courses are taught by experienced instructors with years of expertise and knowledge in both the commercial and fine art avenues of photography.  在我们多样化的课程中继续提供优秀的教学, 我们的项目最近增加了两名新的副教员.

Our course offerings are as follows:

AS DEGREE IN PHOTOGRAPHY� 60 units
The major consists of 26 units.
Changes: The required units for the AS Degree in Photography have been changed from 46 units to 26 units.  12 out of the 26 units are core classes (family of classes) with 14 additional units from other required courses for the major.  单位负荷的变化将允许学生在一年内完成该专业.
以下四门核心课程为全家福课程:12个单元

PHO 2 Introduction to Photography � 3 units
PHO 4彩色摄影- 3单元(P)或PHO 6黑白摄影- 3单元(P)
PHO 8 Commercial Photography - 3 units (P)
PHO 7 Stock Photography - 3 units (P)

Supporting Rationale

直到几年前丹尼斯·威克斯退休, and for the past three decades, Photography has had full-time leadership.  摄影区是在杰夫·弗里克(Geoff Fricker)的天才指导下建造的, collaborating with many excellent imaging-professionals who have served us as associate faculty, 并得到我们知识渊博、敬业的实验室技术人员Davin的协助, Schreindl. 

We need to restore this lost position in order to better accomplish our goals of providing top-quality instruction in our core classes, updating our curricula, managing our budget and facilities, 衡量和报告我们所有课程的SLO和PLO成绩.

4 Variable Contrast Black & White Enlarger We have 20 enlargers in our photo darkroom. Some date back to 1990 possibly earlier. We have replaced 4 with previous Unit Plan funds but would like to continue replacing 4 every few years. We believe that replacing 4 at a time is sufficient to keep old worn out enlargers from becoming a problem. They were not originally purchased at the same time, 这也是它们不需要同时更换的原因之一. Our darkroom classes, which the enlargers are used for, 是系里最受欢迎的课程,而且似乎越来越受欢迎吗. PLEASE CONSIDER FOR PERKINS FUNDING: 1012.00-APPLIED PHOTOGRAPHY
