Fellowship supported 2005 Basic Photo/Imaging Workshop for Educators School of Photographic Arts and Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Find the application on the web at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/workshop.html A Fellowship supported workshop for educators teaching photography and imaging primarily at the High School and Community College levels (although open to other educators as well) will again be offered by the faculty of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology located in upstate New York. The workshop will be offered from March 18-20, 2005 and will include technical as well as practical photographic topics such as Intro to Studio photography and lighting, Photomacrography, Intro to Fashion Photography, Effective Use of Electronic Flash, the 4x5 View Camera for Landscape or Studio work, the Polaroid transfer technique, Special Effects photography, etc. A section on Digital Photography and publishing is also included. At this time the exact topics are still being worked out but hopefully the schedule in application gives you an idea of what we are planning and the basis for an early Fellowship application to attend the Workshop. This unique seminar is designed to be an intensive and challenging experience that we believe will provide you with not only basic technical information but also with useful experiences and projects that you should be able to apply directly in your own teaching endeavors. Fellowships for $595, equal to the attendance fee for this seminar, will be awarded to all qualifying individuals. Others may attend at their own expense if there is room available. Primary selection criteria for Fellowships will include secondary, Community College or University affilitation, courses taught and order of application receipt based on postmark or timestamp. Please note that the major activities will take place on Friday and Saturday. Events scheduled on Thursday evening and Sunday morning are mostly devoted to introductions, sharing educational goals, successes, teaching activities, etc. This is a volunteer initiative of the faculty of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences at RIT and there are participating faculty from every department within the School. The objective we have is to contribute to photographic and imaging education at the grass-roots level.
