After a relatively long period of not teaching
Digital Imaging at the UO, I was asked to teach one section of the class
in 2005's Winter Term. The site design featured here is graphically
the same as my original concept from 2002. In terms of instructional
content, I completely overhauled the syllabus, readings, activities
and my overall approach to Digital Imaging. I was able to synthesize
some broader themes into the lectures that dealt with culture and history
which I feel helped to make the class about something deeper than just
the software.

The syllabus posted here was followed in-class fairly closely until
the midway point in the term when I started to alter the lecture content
in reaction to the student's individual skill levels. In retrospect
the assignments that the students were given may have been overly conceptual
in their goals but the results were still very interesting in terms
of materials experimentation. One of the highlights of the term was
a lenticular image project which was a new technique I learned about
halfway through the class and managed to incorporate into an assignment.
For anyone not familiar with lenticular imaging you should check out
this
site on the physics and this
site on the commercial applications.
