Christine Collins, Untitled Create an interactive iBook David Hilliard, Still with Sticks (detail) June 22 - 26 June 29 - July 3 June 29 - July 3 The Photographer’s Eye iBook Christine Collins Chuck Carter David Hilliard & An drea Wallace SKILL LEVEL: II - III| SKILL LEVEL: I - II SKILL LEVEL: III - IV CONCEPT: Sharpen your vision as a photographer and enrich the context of your work by exploring the question, “What gives a photograph meaning?” In this workshop, students take a deeper look at the art of photography and explore how photographs attain meaning and the elements that supply them with the capacity to share a story. Learn with daily critiques, lectures and hands-on photography. Experimentation (and failure!) is encouraged as a means of pushing past the familiar and finding new ways of being expressive with our photographs. Each day we focus on a specific photographic strategy and consider how subject matter and form create meaning. CONCEPT: Enhance your book with interactive elements and reach your readers on a deeper level. iBooks Author is a powerful page layout application that allows you to integrate text, photos, slideshows, video, audio and even quizzes into your books. Learn how to create your own books in iBooks Author. Master the basics like adding photos and video, flowing text around objects and inserting new chapters, then learn how to customize layouts, use master objects, add slideshows, quizzes and more. From a textbook to a family album, whatever your project, this workshop helps you make the most of design and interactivity.
