When Words Meet Pictures

Words can add impact and change the meaning of images. In this photography class we will view examples and learn how many different artists have used words along with pictures to convey a specific message or create new meaning. We will experiment with different combinations of images and text - both found and self generated and explore ways to tell dynamic new stories. Students will incorporate text into the making or presentation of their photographs, using techniques like sequencing, photo essaying, digital manipulation, simple juxtaposition, photographing text in the world or by adding creative titles and captions. Students must have working knowledge of their image capture device.
