Techniques include the creation, manipulation and output of images via inkjet printer to a variety of art papers using photographs, other original art and found objects that will be scanned into the computer. Topics include the aesthetics of image manipulation, both in the context of the student’s development of style and from an historical perspective, and the legal, moral and social issues of commercial and fine arts applications of photographic electronic imaging.
